Abstract
The invention provides a method for ensuring the success in upgrading a set-top box, comprising the following steps: defining an upgrading status flag, an upgrading mode flag, an upgrading parameter check flag and upgrading parameters of the set-top box, and storing the flags and parameters in an EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) of the set-top box; when a main program of the set-top box detects an upgrading request transmitted by a front-end network of a broadcast television operator, recording the upgrading parameters transmitted by the corresponding front-end network into the EEPROM, and judging whether the set-top box needs to be upgraded according to the flags; starting the upgrading program and receiving upgrading data when upgrading is needed, and modifying the upgrading status flag; and operating the main program of the set-top box if upgrading is not needed. The invention can ensure normal operation of upgrading of the set-top box, and when special events such as power cut and the like are encountered, upgrading can be restored and continued automatically.
Description
[technical field]
The present invention relates to a kind of embedded technology, especially a kind of guarantee set top box upgrading successful method belongs to the field of set-top technology.
[background technology]
Along with the extensive of national digital TV popularized; As the function of the DTV STB of digital TV terminal product also from strength to strength; Because the needs of the new application that the user is a large amount of; The value-added service of CATV set-top-box constantly increases, and therefore the requirement of radio and television operator upgrading has been arranged, and the supplier as STB can release new software simultaneously.Along with the function of DTV STB is more and more abundanter, original STB ensures that with regard to upgrading through the mode of OTA (based on short message mechanism) success of upgrading is the most important requirement of ROMPaq.The upgrading of conventional digital tv STB is to receive the data that radio and television operator front network is sent; Wipe the data on the flash piece then; Write flash to the data that receive, when running into outage, perhaps in particular cases some other; Because data do not write fully, STB can't normally move.
At Chinese invention patent was 2002.07.24 in open day; Publication number is to disclose a kind of set top box upgrading method in 101800840; This method may further comprise the steps: the first step; STB at first moves the loader utility that is stored among the Flash when starting, if program running is then ended in Loader operation failure; If Loader (reprinting) program running success will be verified the current software configuration information among the Flash in the final step of loader utility operation; In second step, if software configuration information is incorrect, then program enters into the upgrading flow process; If correct, then check the upgrading configuration information that store E2PROM (EEPROM) lining, if upgrading configuration information is incorrect, the upgrading configuration information that then will be stored in the Flash software configuration information copies E2PROM to; In the 3rd step, the sky in the inspection E2PROM upgrading configuration information rises identifier, carries out empty the liter if be designated, and then program enters into the flow process otherwise whether the verification Application program is correct of upgrading; If application program is incorrect, then program enters into the upgrading flow process, otherwise executive utility.The advantage of this invention is: preserve software configuration information among Flash and the E2PROM simultaneously owing to be employed in, even the configuration information corrupted data among the Flash does not influence the aerial upgrade success yet; If the upgrading configuration information corrupted data among the E2PROM is in STB when start next time restore data from Flash automatically.But this invention is wanted in Flash and E2PROM, to preserve software configuration information simultaneously, has so just wasted the STB memory headroom.
[summary of the invention]
The technical problem that the present invention will solve is to provide a kind of guarantee set top box upgrading successful method, can ensure normally carrying out of set top box upgrading, when running into special events such as outage, can recover and continue upgrading automatically.
The present invention is achieved in that a kind of guarantee set top box upgrading successful method, it is characterized in that: comprise the steps:
The upgrade status sign of step 10, definition STB comprises: upgrade status, no upgrade status; The upgrade mode sign comprises: mandatory upgrade, manually upgrading, nothing upgrading; Upgrade parameter check mark: when STB is received upgrade parameter; After writing the STB memory headroom to upgrade parameter; And the check value that obtains through computing, upgrade parameter comprises: the tableID (tableID of EIT table in the program channel) of the PID of upgrading (PID of EIT table in the program channel), upgrading, frequency, symbol rate, the modulation system of upgrade data place code stream are stored in these signs and parameter among the eeprom of STB;
Step 20, when the STB main program detects the upgrade request that radio and television operator front network sends, record the upgrade parameter of corresponding front network transmission among the eeprom, restart STB then;
Step 30, when set-top-box opening, whether the STB boot detects earlier described check value wrong? Be then the memory headroom that is used to store upgrade data to be carried out initialization; Operation STB main program, upgrading set top box data not, otherwise judge that described upgrade status sign is a upgrade status? Be then to change step 50 over to; Otherwise judge described upgrade mode sign; If there is not upgrade mode, operation STB main program, not upgrading set top box data; If manual upgrade mode requires the user to import upgrade parameter, after waiting user's input parameter and confirming upgrading, change step 40 over to; If the mandatory upgrade pattern, the upgrade parameter of STB reading machine top box memory headroom changes step 40 over to;
Step 40, STB are according to described upgrade parameter; The frequency at locking upgrade data place receives upgrade data, and is stored in the memory headroom of said STB; When whole upgrade datas finish receiving, change the upgrade status sign into upgrade status from no upgrade status;
Step 50, the upgrade data programming that receives to flash; Do you judge earlier whether the data on the flash piece of wiping consistent with the upgrade data that writes? Be; Then continue to judge the data of next flash piece, otherwise wipe the flash piece, on this flash piece that writes upgrade data; When the whole programming flash of all upgrade datas go up, change the upgrade status sign into no upgrade status.
The present invention has following advantage: the upgrade status sign of definition STB; The upgrade mode sign, upgrade parameter check mark, upgrade parameter; And with these the sign and parameter be stored among the eeprom of STB; When the STB main program detected the upgrade request of radio and television operator front network transmission, the upgrade parameter that sends corresponding front network recorded among the eeprom, and judges according to described sign whether STB will upgrade.The present invention can ensure normally carrying out of set top box upgrading, when running into special events such as outage, can recover and continue upgrading automatically.
