[0038] The present application is described more clearly below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the effects of the present application, but are not intended to limit the present application in any form. It should be noted that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements may be made without departing from the concept of the present application. These all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] It should be understood that when used in the present specification and the appended claims, the term "comprising" indicates the presence of described features, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0040] It should also be understood that the term “and / or” used in the specification and appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0041] In the description of the present application specification and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in the specification of this application mean that one or more embodiments of the present application include specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment. Therefore, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in some other embodiments", "in some other embodiments", etc. that appear in different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways. The terms "including", "comprising", "having" and their variations all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways.

[0043] In addition, the “plurality” mentioned in the embodiments of the present application should be interpreted as two or more.

[0044] As mentioned above, in the related art, online upgrades usually involve online upgrades of the application (Application, APP) inside the device. In order to successfully upgrade the APP, the Boot area of ​​the device cannot be changed, that is, it cannot be upgraded. However, in actual applications, the Boot area of ​​the device also has upgrade requirements. In the related art, it is usually necessary to manually upgrade the Boot area, which takes a long time and is inefficient. Therefore, how to achieve online upgrades of the Boot area is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0045] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a Boot area online upgrade method, which can perform online upgrades on both the Boot area and the APP area at the same time when both have upgrade requirements. There is no need to manually upgrade the Boot area, which can save manpower and time and improve efficiency.

[0046] First, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the application scenario provided according to the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown, and the device involved in the application scenario includes a device to be upgraded and an upgrade file issuing device. The device to be upgraded may be a DSP, and the DSP includes an on-chip memory and an off-chip memory, wherein the data stored in the off-chip memory is not lost when the power is off. The upgrade file issuing device may be an ARM.

[0047] In specific application scenarios, DSP can be upgraded through ARM. The upgrade process includes: using the USB interface as the firmware import point, ARM reads the firmware information in the U disk and forwards the firmware information to the DSP. After the DSP receives the upgrade package, it first stores the data in the off-chip memory. After the upgrade package is sent completely and verified, the program in the on-chip memory is erased, and the program stored in the off-chip memory is moved to the on-chip memory to complete the upgrade. The upgrade can include the upgrade of the Boot area of ​​the DSP and the upgrade of the APP area of ​​the DSP. The upgrade methods of different areas are the same, but the corresponding upgrade data is stored in different locations.

[0048] See also Figure 1 The communication interface between ARM and DSP is CAN or RS485, which can support single-point upgrade or broadcast upgrade. DSP and external memory can complete data transmission through SPI.

[0049] Combine the following Figure 1 For application scenarios, refer to Figures 2 to 3 To describe the Boot area online upgrade method provided according to the exemplary embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are only shown to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principle of the present application, and the implementation of the present application is not limited in this regard. On the contrary, the implementation of the present application can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0050] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application can be applied to electronic devices, and the electronic devices can be servers, computers, controllers, etc., that is, the Boot area online upgrade method provided in the exemplary embodiments of the present application can be performed on devices such as servers, computers, controllers, etc. The electronic device can be the above-mentioned device to be upgraded.

[0051] It should be noted that the Boot area online upgrade method provided according to the exemplary embodiment of the present application can be executed on the same device or on different devices.

[0052] See also Figure 2 , which shows a flowchart of an implementation of a Boot area online upgrade method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The Boot area online upgrade method may include:

[0053] In S201, the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file is obtained.

[0054] The upgrade file stores the upgrade data for this upgrade. The upgrade file carries the version number of the Boot area. If the Boot area needs to be upgraded, the version number carried by the upgrade file is inconsistent with the current version number of the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded. Usually, the version number will increase. For example, if the current version number is A, the upgraded version number is B, and so on. If the Boot area does not need to be upgraded, the version number carried by the upgrade file is consistent with the current version number of the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded.

[0055] When the Boot area needs to be upgraded, the upgrade file may include the upgrade file corresponding to the Boot area and the upgrade file corresponding to the APP area. The upgrade files of the two may be one file, but the upgrade data of the Boot area and the upgrade data of the APP area are stored in different positions in the file. The upgrade files of the two may also be two files, and the corresponding upgrade data is stored in each corresponding file.

[0056] In S202, the current version number of the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded is obtained.

[0057] In S203, if the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file is inconsistent with the current version number of the Boot area, both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded are upgraded online.

[0058] If the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file is inconsistent with the current version number of the Boot area, it means that the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded needs to be upgraded. Therefore, both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded can be upgraded online based on the current upgrade file.

[0059] The embodiment of the present application obtains the version number of the Boot area in this upgrade file and the current version number of the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded. When the version number of the Boot area in this upgrade file is inconsistent with the current version number of the Boot area, it means that the current upgrade file carries the corresponding data of the new version of the Boot area. At this time, it is necessary to perform an online upgrade of the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded based on the new version of the Boot area in this upgrade file. Both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded can be upgraded online, thereby realizing not only online upgrade of the APP of the device, but also online upgrade of the Boot area. There is no need to manually upgrade the Boot area, which can save manpower and time and improve efficiency.

[0060] In some embodiments, in S203, if the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file is inconsistent with the current version number of the Boot area, the following further includes:

[0061] Get the current upgrade instructions;

[0062] In S203, both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded are upgraded online, including:

[0063] If the current upgrade instruction is used to instruct the Boot area to be upgraded, both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded are upgraded online.

[0064] The current upgrade instruction may be issued by the upgrade file issuing device to the device to be upgraded, or may be manually input, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0065] When the Boot area needs to be upgraded, the current upgrade instruction includes the Boot area upgrade instruction. When the current upgrade instruction includes the Boot area upgrade instruction, it is considered that the current upgrade instruction is used to instruct the Boot area to upgrade.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file is inconsistent with the current version number of the Boot area, and the current upgrade instruction is used to instruct the Boot area to upgrade, both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded will be upgraded online. Otherwise, only the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded will be upgraded, or the upgrade will be exited and relevant prompts will be given. Through double confirmation, it is avoided that one of the misjudgments will lead to an erroneous upgrade of the Boot area.

[0067] In some embodiments, in S203, if the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file is inconsistent with the current version number of the Boot area, the following further includes:

[0068] Obtain the firmware keyword in the current upgrade file; the firmware keyword includes the information of the device to be upgraded associated with the current upgrade file;

[0069] In S203, both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded are upgraded online, including:

[0070] If the information of the device to be upgraded matches that of the device to be upgraded, both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded are upgraded online.

[0071] In order to ensure that the device to be upgraded is the device that needs to be upgraded this time, the embodiment of the present application obtains the firmware keyword in the current upgrade file to determine the information of the device that needs to be upgraded this time. The information may include information such as an identifier for uniquely identifying the device that needs to be upgraded.

[0072] The information of the device to be upgraded may include information such as an identifier used to uniquely identify the device to be upgraded.

[0073] When the information of the device to be upgraded matches that of the device to be upgraded, that is, they are consistent, both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded are upgraded online.

[0074] In some embodiments, the firmware keyword is stored in the first preset area in the current upgrade file; or,

[0075] The firmware keyword is stored in the file name of the upgrade file.

[0076] In this embodiment, the firmware keyword can be stored in the first preset area of ​​the current upgrade file, and the firmware keyword can be obtained by parsing the data stored in the first preset area. The first preset area can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0077] The firmware keyword can also be stored in the file name of this upgrade file. Exemplarily, the file name of this upgrade file can be SPI320KBHV2INV_A.hex, where the firmware keyword is the information before the underline, i.e., SPI320KBHV2INV, and the information after the underline is the version number of the Boot area in this upgrade file.

[0078] In some embodiments, the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file is stored in the second preset area in the current upgrade file; or,

[0079] The version number of the Boot area in this upgrade file is stored in the file name of this upgrade file.

[0080] In this embodiment, the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file can be stored in the second preset area in the current upgrade file, and the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file can be obtained by parsing the data stored in the second preset area. The second preset area can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0081] The version number of the Boot area in this upgrade file can also be stored in the file name of this upgrade file. Exemplarily, the file name of this upgrade file can be SPI320KBHV2INV_A.hex, where the information after the underline is the version number of the Boot area in this upgrade file.

[0082] In some embodiments, in the above S203, both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded are upgraded online, including:

[0083] Perform online upgrade on the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded.

[0084] After the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded is successfully upgraded online, the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded is upgraded online.

[0085] In this embodiment, when both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded need to be upgraded online, the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded is upgraded online first, and after the Boot area is successfully upgraded online, the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded is upgraded. Since the Boot area stores the corresponding upgrade program for the APP area upgrade, the Boot area is upgraded first.

[0086] In some embodiments, after obtaining the current version number of the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded, the Boot area online upgrade method further includes:

[0087] If the version number of the Boot area in the upgrade file is the same as the current version number of the Boot area, only the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded is upgraded online.

[0088] If the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file is consistent with the current version number of the Boot area, it means that the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded does not need to be upgraded in this upgrade. Therefore, only the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded can be upgraded online based on this upgrade file.

[0089] In some possible implementations, see Figure 3 , you can first determine whether the version number of the Boot area in the upgrade file is consistent with the current version number of the Boot area. If not, continue to determine whether the current upgrade instruction is used to instruct the Boot area to upgrade. If so, further determine whether the information of the device to be upgraded matches the information of the device to be upgraded. If they match, give priority to upgrading the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded. After successfully upgrading the Boot area, upgrade the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded.

[0090] If the version number of the Boot area in the upgrade file is consistent with the current version number of the Boot area, or the current upgrade instruction is not used to instruct the Boot area to be upgraded, only the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded is upgraded online.

[0091] If the information of the device to be upgraded does not match the information of the device to be upgraded, the upgrade is exited and a message indicating that the keywords do not match is prompted.

[0092] It should be noted that the order of the above three judgments can be changed according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here. The above method for online upgrading of the Boot area and the method for online upgrading of the APP area can be the same, except that the upgrade data and the location where the upgrade data is stored are different.

[0093] The online upgrade method of the Boot area provided in the embodiment of the present application can ensure reliable online upgrade of the Boot area of ​​the device to be upgraded, reduce the number of operations and verifications by on-site operation and maintenance personnel, and achieve reliable protection.

[0094] It should be understood that the order of execution of the steps in the above embodiment does not necessarily mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0095] The following is an embodiment of the device of the present invention. For details not described in detail therein, reference may be made to the corresponding method embodiment described above.

[0100] The online upgrade module 33 is used to perform online upgrade on both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded if the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file is inconsistent with the current version number of the Boot area.

[0101] In a possible implementation, in the online upgrade module 33, if the version number of the Boot area in the current upgrade file is inconsistent with the current version number of the Boot area, it further includes:

[0102] Get the current upgrade instructions;

[0103] Perform an online upgrade on both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded, including:

[0104] If the current upgrade instruction is used to instruct the Boot area to be upgraded, both the Boot area and the APP area of ​​the device to be upgraded are upgraded online.
