[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] The embodiments of the present application provide a firmware upgrade method, apparatus, device and computer-readable storage medium. The firmware upgrade apparatus can be integrated in a device.

[0039] It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0040] A firmware upgrade method provided in an embodiment of the present application is applied to a first device, which may be a terminal or other device. The following description will be made from the perspective of a first firmware upgrade device, which may be specifically integrated in the device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the specific process of the firmware upgrade method can be as follows:

[0041] 101. Obtain a module upgrade file of a target module in a second device, where the module upgrade file includes firmware upgrade files corresponding to at least two firmwares in the target module.

[0042] The first device and the second device may be different devices, for example, the first device may be a terminal, and the second device may be a vehicle, etc. The first device and the second device may also be the same device, which may be flexibly configured as required and is not limited here.

[0043] The target module can be a module in the second device that provides a specified function, such as an ultra-wideband (UWB) module, a fragrance control module, and an electronic fan control module, wherein the UWB module can detect living body information in the vehicle, the fragrance control module can control the release of fragrance in the vehicle, and the electronic fan control module can be used to control the operation of the vehicle's fan.

[0044] Among them, the module upgrade file may include firmware upgrade files of at least two firmware in the target module. After the firmware upgrade file is written into the target module, the corresponding firmware can be upgraded. For example, the module upgrade file may include at least two firmware upgrade files of the configuration file, application file and driver file of the target module (for example, it can be a firmware upgrade package).

[0045] 102. Send an upgrade data packet to a control module of a second device according to the module upgrade file, and send the upgrade data packet to a target module through the control module, so that the target module upgrades at least two firmwares.

[0046] The first device can indirectly communicate with the target module of the second device through the control module of the second device. The first device sends the upgrade data packet of the module upgrade file to the control module of the second device, and the upgrade data packet is sent to the target module through the control module of the second device. The target module writes the data upgrade package to upgrade at least two firmwares on the target module.

[0047] The upgrade data packet can be obtained by dividing the data of the module upgrade firmware, each upgrade data packet includes part of the data in the module upgrade firmware file, and the module upgrade file can be obtained by merging multiple module upgrade data packets corresponding to the module upgrade file.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the module upgrade file includes firmware upgrade files of multiple firmware (at least two) of the target module, and multiple firmware of the target module can be upgraded through one module upgrade file.

[0049] The module upgrade file includes the firmware upgrade files of multiple firmware of the target module. The write location of each firmware upgrade file can be included in each upgrade data packet. After the target module receives the upgrade data packet, it parses the upgrade data packet to obtain the firmware upgrade data and the write location of the firmware upgrade data, and writes the firmware upgrade data according to the write location.

[0050] Optionally, the module upgrade file may further include a firmware list, which may include the address of each firmware upgrade file in the module upgrade file in the target module, that is, in one embodiment, the module upgrade file includes a first upgrade data packet and a second upgrade data packet, the first upgrade data packet includes the firmware list, and the second upgrade data packet includes part of the data of the firmware upgrade file, and the step of "sending the upgrade data packet to the control module of the second device according to the module upgrade file, and sending the upgrade data packet to the target module through the control module" may include:

[0051] Sending a first upgrade data packet to a control module, and sending the first upgrade data packet to a target module through the control module, wherein the firmware list includes a write position of each firmware upgrade file in the target module;

[0052] The plurality of second upgrade data packets are sequentially sent to the target module through the control module, so that the target module writes the second upgrade data packets into the target module based on the writing position in the firmware list.

[0053] The module upgrade file includes a first upgrade data packet and a second upgrade data packet. The first upgrade data packet includes a firmware list. There can be one or more first upgrade data packets. The number of first upgrade data packets depends on the size of the firmware list. If the firmware list is large, there can be multiple first upgrade data packets.

[0054] The second upgrade data packet may include part of the data in the firmware upgrade file, and may be obtained by splitting the firmware upgrade file. The splitting process may split the firmware upgrade file into multiple data packets with a smaller data volume than the firmware upgrade file.

[0055] After the first device sends the first upgrade data packet to the target module through the control module, it sends the second upgrade data packet to the target module through the control module. The target module can obtain a firmware list by parsing the first upgrade data packet, and the write location of each second upgrade data in the target module can be determined based on the firmware list.

[0056] Splitting the module upgrade file into multiple data upgrade packages may be performed by splitting the module upgrade file based on a preset data volume threshold to obtain multiple upgrade data packets whose data volumes are less than or equal to the data volume threshold.

[0057] For example, the framework of the module upgrade package can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the module upgrade file includes a firmware list and multiple firmware upgrade files. The firmware list records the position of each firmware upgrade file in the module upgrade (e.g., the starting position), the size of each firmware upgrade file, the address of each firmware upgrade file in the chip of the target module (e.g., the starting address), the number of firmware upgrade files, the decryption key of the upgrade data packet, etc.

[0058] Optionally, the first device may also send the upgrade data packet according to the data volume limit of the target module on the data packet, and before sending the upgrade data packet to the control module of the second device according to the module upgrade file, the method further includes:

[0059] Determine a threshold value of the amount of data received by the target module for the upgrade data packet;

[0060] According to the received data amount threshold, each firmware upgrade file in the module upgrade file of the target module is split and processed to obtain multiple upgrade data packets.

[0061] Among them, the received data volume threshold is the threshold of the data length of each data packet of the target module. The received data volume threshold can be set in advance according to the memory information of the target module, or it can be determined by the control module according to the data transmission characteristics or memory usage of the target module. For example, the target module requires that the total number of upgrade data packets of the module upgrade file cannot exceed the preset data packet number threshold. Then, the maximum data volume of each upgrade data packet can be calculated based on the total number of module upgrade files and the preset packet number threshold to obtain the received data volume threshold, or the data volume of the data packet that the target module can receive can be determined according to the memory usage of the target module to obtain the received data volume threshold.

[0062] The first device splits each firmware upgrade file in the module upgrade file of the target module into multiple upgrade data packets according to a data volume threshold of the target module for receiving the upgrade data packet, and the data volume of each upgrade data packet is less than or equal to the data volume threshold.

[0063] Optionally, the first device may generate an upgrade data package from the firmware list, and split each firmware upgrade file to obtain multiple upgrade data packages.

[0064] The module upgrade package may be a corresponding module upgrade package obtained by the first device according to the target module to be upgraded by the second device (for example, obtained from a server or obtained from a local storage device). Optionally, it may also be extracted by the first device from an upgrade synthesis package of the second device, where the upgrade synthesis package includes module upgrade files of multiple modules of the second device, and the second device obtains the module upgrade file corresponding to the target module therefrom. That is, in one embodiment, before the step of “obtaining the module upgrade file of the target module in the second device”, the firmware upgrade method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include:

[0065] Acquire a firmware upgrade synthesis package of the second device, where the firmware upgrade synthesis package includes module upgrade files of multiple modules of the second device;

[0066] Determine the module to be upgraded of the second device according to the firmware version of each module application in the second device and the firmware version of the module upgrade file;

[0067] A target module is determined from among the modules to be upgraded.

[0068] For example, the first device can obtain a firmware upgrade synthesis package of the second device, which includes module upgrade files of multiple modules of the second device, and determine the firmware version of each firmware upgrade file in the module upgrade text file of each module according to the firmware upgrade synthesis package.

[0069] The firmware versions of the applications of each module of the second device and the firmware versions of each firmware upgrade file in the corresponding module upgrade text file are obtained to determine the module that needs to be upgraded, that is, the module to be upgraded.

[0070] And determine the target module currently undergoing firmware upgrade from the modules to be upgraded.

[0071] After the module upgrade file is sent to the target module through the control module, it can be checked whether the target module has completed the firmware upgrade. If the target module has completed the firmware upgrade, the firmware upgrade can be performed on other modules of the second device. That is, in one embodiment, after the step of "sending the upgrade data packet to the control module of the second device according to the module upgrade file, and sending the upgrade data packet to the target module through the control module", the method further includes:

[0072] Obtain the firmware version currently applied by each firmware of the target module through the control module;

[0073] If the firmware version currently applied to each firmware of the target module is the same as the firmware version of each firmware upgrade file in the module upgrade text file, a new target module is determined from the modules to be upgraded;

[0074] Return to the step of obtaining the module upgrade file of the target module until the firmware of each module to be upgraded of the second device is upgraded.

[0075] For example, the first device can obtain the firmware version currently applied by each firmware of the target module through the control module; compare the firmware version currently applied by each firmware of the target module with the version of the firmware upgrade file in the module upgrade file. If they are the same, it means that the target module has completed the firmware upgrade, and a new target module is determined from the modules to be upgraded, and return to execute step 101, obtain the module upgrade file of the new target module, and based on the module upgrade file of the new target module, perform firmware upgrade on the new target module, and continue the cycle until all modules to be upgraded have completed the firmware upgrade.

[0076] In one embodiment, after the first device sends all the data upgrade packages of the module upgrade file of the target module to the target module, the target module may be requested to perform a memory check to ensure that the firmware upgrade file is written into the target module, that is, the firmware upgrade method provided in the embodiment of the present application may also include:

[0077] In response to the module upgrade file being sent, a memory check request is sent to the target module through the control module, the memory check request instructs the target module to check the written firmware upgrade file, and returns the memory check result to the first device through the control module;

[0078] The upgrade result of the target module is determined according to the memory verification result returned by the target module.

[0079] For example, the first device detects whether all upgrade data of the module upgrade file are sent to the target module. If yes, a memory check request is sent to the target module through the control module.

[0080] After receiving the memory verification request, the target module verifies the data at the write position of the firmware upgrade file for each firmware upgrade file, for example, performs byte-by-byte operations (such as accumulation, "exclusive OR" operations, etc.) on the data at the write position of the firmware upgrade file to obtain a memory verification result, and returns the memory verification result to the first device;

[0081] The first device determines the upgrade result of the target module based on the memory verification result returned by the second device. Specifically, the first device can perform the same byte-by-byte operation on the firmware upgrade file in the module upgrade file as the target module, and compare the operation result with the memory verification result returned by the target module. If they are consistent, the target module completes the firmware upgrade.

[0082] In one embodiment, the module upgrade file is generated by the following steps:

[0083] Acquire multiple firmware upgrade files of the second device, and upgrade information of each firmware upgrade file, where the upgrade information may include the size, write location, etc. of the firmware upgrade file; group the multiple firmware upgrade files of the second device to obtain at least two firmware upgrade files corresponding to each module; generate a firmware list for each module according to the upgrade information of the at least two firmware upgrade files corresponding to each module; merge the at least two firmware upgrade files of each module to obtain a merged firmware upgrade file corresponding to each module; generate a module upgrade file for each module based on the merged firmware upgrade file and the firmware list of each module.

[0084] As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present application obtains the module upgrade file of the target module in the second device, and the module upgrade file includes firmware upgrade files corresponding to at least two firmwares in the target module; sends an upgrade data packet to the control module of the second device according to the module upgrade file, and sends the upgrade data packet to the target module through the control module, so that the target module upgrades at least two firmwares. This can achieve the upgrade of multiple firmwares in the target module of the second device through one module upgrade file, thereby improving the firmware upgrade efficiency.

[0085] The embodiment of the present application also provides another firmware upgrade method, which is applied to a target module of a second device. The second device may further include a control module. The second device may be a device that requires firmware upgrade, such as a vehicle. The following description will be made from the perspective of a second firmware upgrade device. The second firmware upgrade device may be specifically integrated in the target module, such as Figure 3 As shown, the specific process of the firmware upgrade method can be as follows:

[0086] 201. Receive an upgrade data packet sent by a first device through a control module, where the upgrade data packet is sent by the first device based on a module upgrade file of a target module, where the target upgrade file includes firmware upgrade files corresponding to at least two firmwares in the target module.

[0087] For example, the target module can control the upgrade data packet sent by the module, and the upgrade data packet sent by the control module can be sent by the first device based on the module upgrade file of the target module. The module upgrade file includes firmware upgrade files of at least two firmware of the target module. The first device divides the data of the module upgrade firmware to obtain multiple upgrade data packets.

[0088] 202. Determine a writing location for the upgrade data package.

[0089] For example, the target module of the second device determines the firmware corresponding to the upgrade data packet, and determines the writing position of the upgrade data packet according to the corresponding firmware.

[0090] Optionally, the target module may determine the write location of the upgrade data packet according to the firmware list sent by the first device through the control module. The firmware list may include the upgrade data packet sent by the first device through the control module, and may be specifically included in the first upgrade data packet. That is, in one embodiment, the upgrade data includes the first upgrade data packet and the second upgrade data packet. The first upgrade data packet includes the firmware list, and the second upgrade data packet includes part of the data of the firmware upgrade file. The step of "determining the write location of the upgrade data packet" may include:

[0091] Determine a writing position of a second upgrade data packet according to the firmware list in the first upgrade data packet;

[0092] Step 203, "writing the upgrade data packet according to the writing position", includes:

[0093] The second upgrade data packet is written in the target module according to the write position.

[0094] The target module can obtain a firmware list by parsing the first upgrade data packet, determine the write position of each second upgrade data in the target module based on the firmware list, and write the second upgrade data packet in the target module according to the write position.

[0095] 203. Write an upgrade data packet according to the write position to upgrade at least two firmwares of the target module.

[0096] For example, the target module may write data upgrade packages one by one according to the write addresses of the data upgrade packages, so as to upgrade at least two firmwares on the target module.

[0097] The module upgrade file can be split into multiple upgrade data packets, and the multiple upgrade data packets are sent to the target module in sequence. Each upgrade data packet can be sent to the target module after the previous upgrade data packet is written to the target module. That is, in one embodiment, after the step of "writing the upgrade data packet according to the write position", the firmware upgrade method provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes:

[0098] In response to the completion of writing the upgrade data packet, a feedback signal is sent to the first device through the control module, where the feedback signal is used to instruct the first device to send a next upgrade data packet;

[0099] Return to the step of receiving the upgrade data packet sent by the first device through the control module of the second device until the upgrade data packet corresponding to the module upgrade file is sent completely.

[0100] For example, after writing the upgrade data packet in the chip in the target module according to the write position, the target module sends a feedback signal to the control module, and the control module sends the feedback signal to the first device. The feedback signal can instruct the first device to send the next upgrade data packet. After receiving the feedback signal, the first device can send the next upgrade data packet. The target module receives the next upgrade data packet sent by the first device, and after the upgrade data packet is written, it sends feedback information to the first device, and the cycle continues until the upgrade data packets of the module upgrade file are sent to the target module.

[0101] As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present application receives an upgrade data packet sent by the first device through the control module, the upgrade data packet is sent by the first device based on the module upgrade file of the target module, and the target upgrade file includes firmware upgrade files corresponding to at least two firmwares in the target module; determines the write location of the upgrade data packet; writes the upgrade data packet according to the write location to upgrade at least two firmwares of the target module; it can be achieved that multiple firmwares in the target module of the second device can be upgraded through one module upgrade file, thereby improving the efficiency of firmware upgrade.

[0102] The present application embodiment also provides another firmware upgrade method, which is applied to the control module of the second device. The second device may also include a target module of the firmware to be upgraded. This embodiment will be described from the perspective of a firmware upgrade device, which may be specifically integrated in the control module, such as Figure 4 As shown, the specific process of the firmware upgrade method can be as follows:

[0103] 301. Receive an upgrade data packet sent by a first device based on a module upgrade file of a target module, where the module upgrade file includes firmware upgrade files corresponding to at least two firmwares in the target module.

[0104] The first device may communicate indirectly with the target module of the second device through the control module of the second device, and the first device sends an upgrade data packet of the module upgrade file to the control module of the second device.

[0105] 302. Send an upgrade data packet to a target module, so that the target module upgrades at least two firmwares.

[0106] The control module sends the upgrade data packet to the target module so that the target module writes the data upgrade packet to upgrade at least two firmwares on the target module.

[0107] The upgrade data packet sent by the first device may be obtained by splitting the module upgrade file based on a preset data volume threshold, and the data volume of the upgrade data packet is less than or equal to the data volume threshold.

[0108] The first device may also send an upgrade data packet according to the data volume limit of the target module for the data packet. The first device may obtain the receiving data volume threshold of the target module for the upgrade data packet through a data volume confirmation request. That is, in one embodiment, before the step of "receiving the upgrade data packet sent by the first device based on the module upgrade file of the target module", the firmware upgrade method provided in the embodiment of the present application may also include:

[0109] receiving a data volume confirmation request sent by the first device;

[0110] According to the data volume confirmation request, the target module is determined to receive a data volume threshold for the upgrade data packet according to the memory information of the target module and the total data volume of the module upgrade file;

[0111] The received data volume threshold is returned to the first device to instruct the first device to split the module upgrade file based on the received data volume threshold to obtain multiple upgrade data packets.

[0112] The first device can send a data volume confirmation request to the control module. After receiving the data volume control request, the control module determines the receiving data volume threshold of the target module for the upgrade data packet based on the memory information of the target module and the total data volume of the module upgrade file, and returns the receiving data volume threshold to the first device.

[0113] The received data volume threshold may be pre-set according to the memory information of the target module, and the control module obtains the preset received data volume threshold by querying from the memory based on the identifier of the target module.

[0114] The control module can also be determined based on the memory information of the target module (for example, memory usage). For example, the target module requires that the total number of upgrade data packets of the module upgrade file must not exceed a preset data packet number threshold. In this case, the control module can calculate the maximum data volume of each upgrade data packet based on the total number of module upgrade files and the preset packet number threshold to obtain the received data volume threshold, or the control module can determine the size of the data packet that the target module can receive based on the memory usage of the target module to obtain the received data volume threshold.

[0115] After the first device receives the data volume threshold, it can split each firmware upgrade file in the module upgrade file of the target module into multiple upgrade data packets according to the target module's receiving data volume threshold for the upgrade data packet, and the data volume of each upgrade data packet is less than or equal to the data volume threshold.

[0116] As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present application receives an upgrade data packet sent by the first device based on a module upgrade file of the target module, and the module upgrade file includes firmware upgrade files corresponding to at least two firmwares in the target module; sends the upgrade data packet to the target module so that the target module upgrades at least two firmwares; it can be achieved by upgrading multiple firmwares in the target module of the second device through one module upgrade file, thereby improving the efficiency of firmware upgrade.

[0117] On the basis of the above embodiments, in order to more clearly illustrate the firmware upgrade method provided by the present application, the following further illustrates the interaction between the first device, the target module of the second device, and the control module of the second device. Figure 5 As shown, the interaction process between the first device, the target module of the second device and the control module of the second device may be as follows:

[0118] The first device obtains module upgrade files of multiple modules of the second device from the server, and numbers each firmware upgrade file in the module upgrade files according to the numbering agreed with the second device.

[0119] The first device obtains the firmware version of each module on the second device through the control module, compares the firmware version of each module on the second device with the firmware version of the firmware upgrade file, and determines the module to be upgraded on the second device.

[0120] The first device sends a security verification request related to firmware upgrade to the control module.

[0121] The control module generates a security verification code and returns it to the first device.

[0122] The first device post-encrypts the security verification code and sends the encrypted security verification code to the control module.

[0123] After receiving the encrypted security verification code, the control module decrypts the encrypted security verification code, compares the decrypted security verification code with the locally retained security verification code, and returns the comparison result to the second device.

[0124] If the security verification passes, the first device determines a target module from the modules to be upgraded.

[0125] The first device sends a storage area erasing instruction to the control module.

[0126] After receiving the instruction, the control module instructs the target module to erase the data in the area to be written into the firmware upgrade file.

[0127] After the target module completes erasing, it sends the erasing result to the control module, and the control module then feeds back the erasing result to the first device.

[0128] After receiving the result of successful erasure, the first device sends a data volume confirmation request to the control module.
