[0001] The present application relates to the field of data processing technology, and in particular to a data processing method, apparatus, and device, namely, a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Embedded devices need to update their firmware via OTA. Existing solutions all use external trigger signals to put the device into an upgrade state and then download the corresponding firmware to complete the update.

[0003] Generally speaking, damage to the upper-layer application will cause the device to become bricked and unable to update itself, requiring the device to be disassembled and burned online using tools such as jtag. Summary of the invention

[0004] The content of this application is used to introduce concepts in a brief form, which will be described in detail in the detailed implementation section below. The content of this application is not intended to identify the key features or essential features of the technical solution claimed for protection, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the technical solution claimed for protection.

[0005] Some embodiments of the present application propose methods, devices, electronic devices, and computer-readable media to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background technology section.

[0006] As the first aspect of the present application, some embodiments of the present application provide a data processing method including: reading an upper-layer application of an embedded device; determining whether the upper-layer application has passed verification, and if so, entering a waiting broadcast state; if not, entering the Boot main program; when a firmware update instruction is received in the waiting broadcast state, entering the Boot main program to perform a firmware update, and when the waiting broadcast state times out, performing a timeout operation.

[0007] Optionally, in some implementations of the present application, the data processing method further includes: loading a startup image file after the system is powered on.

[0008] Optionally, in some implementations of the present application, the data processing method further includes: Run the software in the startup image file.

[0009] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the waiting broadcast state is waiting for UDP broadcast.

[0010] Optionally, in some implementations of the present application, performing the timeout operation includes: using ICAP2Work lmage including bootload.

[0011] The timeout operation includes: modifying ADDR to load workimage including fsbl.

[0012] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the timeout operation includes: reading the work partition to load the workimage including fsbl.

[0013] As the second aspect of the present application, some embodiments of the present application provide a reading module for reading the upper-layer application of an embedded device; a judgment module for judging whether the upper-layer application has passed the verification, and if the verification is passed, entering the waiting broadcast state, and if the verification fails, entering the Boot main program; an execution module, when receiving a firmware update instruction in the waiting broadcast state, entering the Boot main program to update the firmware, and when the waiting broadcast state times out, performing a timeout operation.

[0014] As the third aspect of the present application, some embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device, comprising: one or more processors; a storage device on which one or more programs are stored, and when the one or more programs are executed by one or more processors, the one or more processors implement the method described in any implementation manner of the above-mentioned first aspect.

[0015] As a fourth aspect of the present application, some embodiments of the present application provide a computer-readable medium on which a computer program is stored, wherein when the program is executed by a processor, the method described in any implementation of the above-mentioned first aspect is implemented.

[0016] The beneficial effect of the present application is to provide a data processing method, device, equipment, or storage medium that can effectively prevent firmware from being unable to be upgraded.

[0017] More specifically, some embodiments of the present application may produce the following specific beneficial effects: The boot main program includes functions such as updating upper-layer applications through the network.

[0018] If the upper-layer application fails the verification, it will enter the boot main program, which solves the problem that the upper-layer application is damaged and cannot be updated.

[0019] After the upper-layer application passes the verification, it will enter the waiting UDP broadcast state for a period of time. When receiving the UDP command, it will also enter the boot main program. This solves the problem that the device cannot actively enter the firmware update state without a button.
