The invention discloses a
firmware upgrading method and device and related equipment, and belongs to the technical field of power line carrier communication. The
firmware upgrading method comprises the steps of performing compression
processing on an original
firmware file, and generating a
digital signature based on the compressed firmware file to obtain a to-be-distributed firmware upgrading
package; sending a firmware upgrading indication message in a broadcast mode; the method comprises the following steps of: performing
paging and blocking on a firmware
upgrade package by adopting a broadcast mode, then transmitting the firmware
upgrade package, acquiring and storing a data receiving state of each HPLC communication module after transmitting one or more pages of firmware data, calculating a
packet loss rate and a receiving
delay according to the data receiving state, and dynamically adjusting the number of repeated transmission times and the
transmission delay; after the sending of the firmware
upgrade packet broadcast is completed, the public
packet loss data is re-sent in a broadcast mode; and supplementing packets for the HPLC communication modules which still have
packet loss one by one in a
unicast mode. According to the method, the security, the success rate and the efficiency of the firmware upgrading of the HPLC communication module can be improved.
