In addition, on the basis of fig. 6, when the built-in WiFi firmware is upgraded this time, a network upgrade mode is selected, so as to avoid possible power failure, program error and the like of the built-in WiFi firmware that may occur in the network upgrade process, the embodiment of the present invention also discloses another method for upgrading the built-in WiFi firmware of the set-top box. Specifically, see fig. 7 for a schematic flow chart of a method for upgrading a WiFi firmware built in a set-top box. As shown in fig. 7, the method may include the following steps.
In step S10211, the signal is sent to the WiFi firmware-in-built-in network communication test signal.
The network communication test signal is used for testing the WiFi communication state of the set top box, and whether the set top box can be connected with a WiFi network or not can be tested through the network communication test signal. And the processor in the set top box sends the network communication test signal to the built-in WiFi firmware so as to judge whether a feedback signal of the built-in WiFi firmware can be received or not, and judge the WiFi communication state of the built-in WiFi firmware of the set top box. In an embodiment of the present invention, a ping command may be sent by the processor to the WiFi firmware built in, where the ping command may be a network communication test signal.
In step S10212, it is determined whether the WiFi communication status of the set top box is an access status according to the network communication test signal.
In the embodiment of the invention, if a processor sends a ping command to built-in WiFi firmware, whether the WiFi communication state of the set-top box is a channel state is judged by judging whether the processor receives feedback information of the ping command; for example, after the processor sends a ping command to the built-in WiFi firmware, it can receive ping data, and then it is determined that the WiFi communication state of the set-top box is a pass state, that is, the network connection of the built-in WiFi firmware of the set-top box is good; when the processor sends a ping command to the built-in WiFi firmware and cannot receive ping data, the WiFi communication state of the set-top box is determined to be a disconnection state, namely the built-in WiFi firmware network of the set-top box cannot be connected.
When the WiFi communication state of the set-top box is the access state, in step S10213, network upgrade is performed on the built-in WiFi firmware according to the upgrade file and the network upgrade mode.

By adopting the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, whether the built-in WiFi firmware is normally connected with the network or not can be judged through the network communication test signal during the upgrading, if the built-in WiFi firmware is normally connected with the network and the WiFi communication state of the set-top box is in the access state, the network upgrading of the built-in WiFi firmware is determined according to the upgrading file, and otherwise, the serial port upgrading of the built-in WiFi firmware is performed according to the upgrading file. Therefore, network tests before the built-in WiFi firmware is upgraded are effectively increased, the reliability of the built-in WiFi firmware network upgrading can be effectively improved, and the situation that the built-in WiFi firmware cannot be upgraded due to the fact that problems occur when the network is upgraded at the beginning is avoided.
Referring to fig. 8, another WiFi upgrade method built in a set-top box according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. As shown in fig. 8, the method may include the following steps.
In step S10215, the WiFi communication status of the set-top box is monitored in real time.
In the embodiment of the invention, a processor of the set top box can send a network communication test signal to the built-in WiFi firmware in real time, for example, a ping command is sent all the time, so that the WiFi communication state of the set top box is judged according to the received ping data. Certainly, in the specific implementation process, the ping command is not limited to be sent in real time, and may also be sent to the built-in WiFi firmware at regular intervals according to the actual situation, so as to detect the WiFi communication state of the set top box. And will not be described in detail herein.
And when the WiFi communication state of the set-top box is a pass-through state, continuing to perform network upgrade on the built-in WiFi firmware in a network upgrade mode according to the upgrade file. Otherwise, step S10216 is performed.
When the WiFi communication state of the set-top box is an open circuit state, in step S10216, the network upgrade mode is switched to a serial port upgrade mode, and the built-in WiFi firmware is continuously upgraded according to the upgrade file and the serial port upgrade mode.
In the embodiment of the invention, if the WiFi communication state of the set-top box is monitored to be an open circuit state, namely the situation that the built-in WiFi firmware is powered off or a WiFi network is unstable in the process of carrying out network upgrading on the built-in WiFi firmware is monitored, in order to ensure the continuous upgrading of the built-in WiFi firmware, the network upgrading mode can be switched to a serial port upgrading mode, the serial port upgrading mode is immediately started, the built-in WiFi firmware is continuously upgraded through the serial port upgrading mode according to the upgrading file, and therefore the continuous upgrading of the built-in WiFi firmware is realized.
In addition, in the serial port upgrading mode, the upgrading file can continue to be upgraded after the previous network upgrading according to the actual situation, and the upgrading file can also carry out serial port upgrading on the built-in WiFi firmware, so that the reliability of upgrading the built-in WiFi firmware is improved.

In addition, in the process of network upgrading of the WiFi firmware built in the set-top box, in order to ensure whether the network upgrading of the WiFi firmware built in the set-top box is successful or not, the method for upgrading the WiFi firmware built in the set-top box provided by the embodiment of the invention is used for updating the WiFi state identifier.
Referring to fig. 9, a schematic flow chart of a method for updating a WiFi status identifier in a WiFi firmware network built in a set-top box according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in fig. 9, the method may include the following steps.
In step S10217, the WiFi status identifier stored in the set-top box is updated to 0.
When the WiFi communication state of the set-top box is a pass-through state, network upgrading is carried out on the built-in WiFi firmware according to the upgrading file, the last network upgrading is indicated to be successful, and the WiFi state identifier is 1 at the moment, the WiFi state identifier needs to be updated from 1 to 0. The situation that the WiFi state identifier cannot be changed once the built-in WiFi firmware is not successfully upgraded in the network can be avoided.
When the WiFi status identifier is updated to 0, in step S10218, it is determined whether the built-in WiFi firmware is upgraded successfully according to the upgrade file and the network upgrade mode.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it may be determined whether the built-in WiFi firmware is successfully upgraded according to the upgrade file and the network upgrade mode by determining that the built-in WiFi firmware is in the memory for storing the upgrade program, for example: when the upgrading file completely replaces the previous upgrading program, the upgrading of the built-in WiFi firmware is successful, otherwise, the upgrading of the built-in WiFi firmware is failed, and whether the upgrading of the built-in WiFi firmware is successful or not can be judged by calculating the storage size of the upgrading file stored in a memory of the built-in WiFi firmware for storing the upgrading program and judging whether the storage size of the calculated upgrading file is matched with the storage size of the pre-downloaded upgrading file or not; when the two are equal, the built-in WiFi firmware is determined to be upgraded successfully.
When the built-in WiFi firmware is successfully upgraded according to the upgrade file and the network upgrade mode, in step S10219, the WiFi status identifier is updated to 1, and at the same time, the set-top box is restarted. Otherwise, ending. The WiFi status identifier is still 0 in step S10217.
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, if the network upgrade is successful on the built-in WiFi firmware according to the upgrade file, the WiFi status identifier updated to 0 in step S10217 needs to be updated to 1 again, so that when the built-in WiFi firmware is upgraded next time, it is convenient that the last network upgrade result of the set top box is obtained as success. Meanwhile, when the built-in WiFi firmware is upgraded successfully, the set top box is restarted to enter a new upgrading program.
By adopting the method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the WiFi status identifier is updated in real time according to whether the network upgrade of the built-in WiFi firmware is successful, so that when the built-in WiFi firmware is upgraded next time, the result of the last network upgrade can be judged according to the WiFi status identifier, and the built-in WiFi firmware is upgraded according to the upgrade file and the network upgrade mode or the serial port upgrade mode.
Referring to fig. 10, a schematic flow chart of another method for upgrading a WiFi firmware built in a set-top box according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in fig. 10, the method may include the following steps.
