Image processing device

Abstract

To enable appropriate firmware updates through simplified processing by the processor. [Solution] The second processor 5a performs a download to receive a plurality of candidate firmwares and a plurality of identification data from an external device. When the download is performed, the second processor 5a transmits each of the plurality of identification data. The first processor 6a transmits each of the plurality of responses for each of the plurality of identification data indicating whether or not the implemented firmware is subject to update. If the plurality of responses include one or more acknowledgments indicating the subject, the second processor 5a transmits one or more subject firmwares from the plurality of candidate firmwares that correspond to the acknowledgments. The first processor 6a updates the firmware corresponding to the subject firmware to the subject firmware.

Claims

1. Non-volatile memory devices, A first processor that performs control or data processing related to image processing by executing one or more implementation firmwares stored in the non-volatile memory device, The system comprises the first processor and a second processor capable of communicating with an external device, When the second processor receives a download request from the external device, it performs a download to receive from the external device a plurality of candidate firmwares and a plurality of identification data that identify the type and version of each of the plurality of candidate firmwares. When the download is performed, the second processor sends each of the plurality of identification data to the first processor. The first processor receives each of the plurality of identification data and sends each of the plurality of responses to the second processor indicating whether each of the plurality of identification data is subject to the update of the implemented firmware. The second processor receives each of the plurality of responses from the first processor, Furthermore, if the plurality of responses include one or more affirmative responses representing the target, the second processor transmits one or more target firmwares from the plurality of candidate firmwares corresponding to the affirmative responses to the first processor. The first processor receives the target firmware from the second processor and updates the implemented firmware corresponding to the target firmware to the target firmware, which is an image processing device.

2. The first board on which the first processor is mounted, The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, comprising a second substrate on which the second processor is mounted.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the second processor transmits update notification data to the external device, which includes one or more target identification data corresponding to the affirmative response from among the plurality of identification data.
