The embodiments of the present invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings.
Example 1:
fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a software upgrading method in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be executed by various electronic devices with certain logical operation processing capacity, such as an aircraft, a remote control device and the like. The method can be used for upgrading various software, such as upgrading embedded software with an operating system or embedded software (application program) without the operating system.
Referring to fig. 2, the method for upgrading software in an electronic device includes:
201: version information of a first application in a system of the electronic device is obtained.
The first application program in the system of the electronic device is a computer program located in the system for performing one or more specific tasks. The first application may refer to any application in the system. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the electronic apparatus includes: a system and a storage device. The system of the electronic device takes an embedded system as an example, and for the embedded system, the Flash partition of the embedded system comprises three parts: uboot partition, kernel partition, and rootfs partition. Wherein several application programs (e.g. App)11、App12、...、App1N) And a configuration file (e.g., Config) of the first application11、Config12、...、Config1N) And the method is placed in a rootfs partition of the embedded system, namely an application layer of the embedded system. Wherein each application corresponds to a configuration file, such as App11And Config11And (7) corresponding. The software upgrading in the electronic device is also to upgrade the application program in the system of the electronic device.
The version information of the first application program is generated after the system runs a start script (loader script) to start the first application program in the system. For example, a loader script is run to launch a first application in the rootfs partition to generate version information for the first application.
Optionally, the start script is further configured to start an upgrade script (upgrade loader script) in a storage device of the electronic device, so that the storage device runs the upgrade script, so as to upgrade the first application program.
Specifically, acquiring version information of a first application program in a system of the electronic device includes: and obtaining version information of the first application program in the system of the electronic equipment by running the upgrading script.
Specifically, the trigger condition for starting the upgrade script in the storage device of the electronic device by the start script includes, but is not limited to, any one of the following: 1. after the electronic equipment or the system of the electronic equipment is started; 2. when a system of the electronic equipment enters an upgrading mode; 3. the electronic equipment or the system of the electronic equipment is powered off and then powered on again. For example, due to an emergency, the electronic device or a system of the electronic device is powered off, and after the electronic device or the system of the electronic device is powered on again, the loader script automatically finds an upgrade script (upgrade loader script) of the storage device and starts the upgrade loader script, so that the storage device runs the upgrade loader script, thereby ensuring that the first application program in the system is continuously upgraded, and improving the upgrade stability. And after the power is re-electrified, the loader script can automatically find the upgrade loader script and start the upgrade script, so that the version information of the first application program in the system of the electronic equipment can be obtained by running the upgrade script, subsequent upgrade can be performed, the whole upgrade process after the power is re-electrified does not need manual participation, upgrade can be automatically and intelligently realized, and the upgrade speed is effectively improved.
The version information is used for indicating whether the version number of the first application program exists or not. That is, when the first application program runs normally, the version number of the first application program is generated, for example, the currently running application program is App1n(N ═ 1, 2 … … N), the application App1nCorresponding configuration file Config1nThen the currently running application App1nAfter normal operation, the corresponding current version number is generated and is corresponding to V1nFor example, a version number of "1.0.0" is generated; and when the first application program cannot normally run due to misoperation or BUG existing in the first application program and the like, the version number cannot be generated. And determining the upgrading information of the first application program subsequently based on whether the version number of the first application program exists or not.
202: and according to the version information of the first application program, determining the upgrading information of the first application program from prestored upgrading information of the application program of the system.
Wherein the pre-stored upgrade information of the application program of the system is stored in a storage device in the electronic device.
The existing upgrading method generally finishes software upgrading by downloading or copying an upgrading file, the upgrading stability of the method is poor, the downloaded or copied upgrading file can be damaged if the method meets the emergency conditions such as power failure or misoperation, the software upgrading cannot be carried out again after the upgrading file is electrified again because the upgrading file is damaged, namely, the software upgrading fails when the emergency conditions such as power failure or misoperation are met. Failure of a software upgrade may seriously affect the normal use functionality of the electronic device.
In the present embodiment, since the upgrade information of the application program of the system is stored in advance, that is, the pre-stored upgrade information of the application program of the system is stored in the storage device in the electronic device, and determining upgrade information of the first application program from pre-stored upgrade information of application programs of the system according to version information of the first application program, and thus, even if the emergency such as power failure or misoperation occurs in the upgrading process, the upgrading information of the application program of the system of the electronic equipment stored in the storage device of the electronic equipment is not damaged, after the power is re-powered on, the upgrade information can be re-determined from the pre-stored upgrade information of the application program of the system of the electronic equipment so as to re-upgrade, therefore, the stability of software upgrading in the electronic equipment is improved, and the normal use of the electronic equipment is further ensured.
The upgrading information comprises a second application program and/or a configuration file of the second application program; wherein the second application is an upgraded version of the first application. For example, as illustrated in fig. 2, the first application included in the system of the electronic device is an App11、App12、...、App1NThe corresponding configuration file is Config11、Config12、...、Config1N(ii) a In the storage device of the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment and the storage deviceIn response, the first application App11、App12、...、App1NThe upgrading information is a second application program App21、App22、...、App2NAnd/or a configuration file Config of said second application21、Config22、...、Config2N。
Based on the version information in step 202, to indicate whether the version number of the first application program exists, therefore, the determining the upgrade information of the first application program from the pre-stored upgrade information of the application programs of the system according to the version information of the first application program may include the following two ways:
1. and when the version number exists in the acquired version information and the version number in the acquired version information is smaller than the pre-stored version number of the first application program of the system, determining the upgrading information of the first application program from the pre-stored upgrading information of the application program of the system. For example, a first application App in a system of the electronic device is acquired1nHas a version number V in the version information1nThe version number V1nThe corresponding version number V of the first application program of the system stored in the storage device in advance2nIf the version number V1nLess than version number V2nE.g. version number V1nIs 1.0.0, version number V2nIf the version number of the first application program is "2.0.0", the upgrade information of the first application program is determined from the pre-stored upgrade information of the application programs of the system, otherwise, the version number of the first application program indicated by the acquired version information is the latest version number of the first application program, that is, the first application program does not need to be upgraded, so that the upgrade efficiency is improved. At this time, first reminding information can be output, and the first reminding information is used for representing that the version number of the first application program is the latest version number.
2. And when the acquired version information is used for indicating that the version number of the first application program does not exist, determining upgrading information of the first application program from prestored upgrading information of application programs of the system. When the acquired version information is used for indicating that the version number of the first application program does not exist, the first application program is characterized to be in an abnormal operation state, and if the first application program is in the abnormal operation state due to power failure or misoperation, the upgrade information of the first application program needs to be determined from the pre-stored upgrade information of the application programs of the system, so that the first application program can be upgraded subsequently.
203: and upgrading the first application program according to the upgrading information.
In one implementation, the upgrade information may be written to the system in an overlay manner. The upgrade information may include an upgrade package or an installation package of an upgrade version of the first application program, that is, the upgrade information may be understood as the second application program and a configuration file corresponding to the second application program.
Specifically, the upgrading, by the electronic device, the first application program according to the upgrade information specifically includes: and overlaying the upgrading information on the first application program and/or the configuration information of the first application program in an application layer of the system so as to further improve the upgrading stability. The application layer of the system is also the rootfs partition in fig. 2. Compared with a Flash area flashing mode, the upgrading stability can be improved. Meanwhile, the contents in the uboot partition and the kernel partition in the Flash area are reserved, so that the upgrading efficiency is improved.
Since one or more application programs are included in the system of the electronic device, when a plurality of application programs exist, the respective application programs can be upgraded in turn. The upgrading sequence can be a default upgrading sequence of the system, or can be set by a user in a self-defined way, for example, according to the default serial number of each application program of the system, each application program is upgraded in sequence; or upgrading the application programs in sequence according to the importance levels of the application programs to the user, and the like. The sequential upgrading of the application may be as follows:
in order to improve the upgrading efficiency, a breakpoint identifier can be set in the upgrading information, and the breakpoint identifier is used for recording an identifier of the application program being upgraded. Furthermore, when an emergency such as power failure occurs, and after power is re-powered on, the loader script finds the upgrade loader script of the storage device and runs, according to the breakpoint identifier, the upgrade loader script can quickly find the first application program which is being upgraded when the breakpoint is reached, and re-upgrade the first application program according to the upgrade information, that is, the configuration files of the corresponding second application program and the corresponding second application program are covered and replaced by the configuration files of the first application program and the corresponding second application program, so that the upgrade stability of the first application program is ensured.
Furthermore, the breakpoint identification can also be used for recording the upgrading process of the application program being upgraded, and then after the application program is powered on again, the first application program can be continuously upgraded based on the record in the breakpoint identification, so that the upgrading efficiency of the application program is further improved.
And after the electronic device finishes upgrading the application program in the system, second reminding information can be output, wherein the second reminding information is used for representing that the first application program is upgraded, namely that the software in the electronic device is upgraded successfully.
In the embodiment of the invention, the first application program in the system of the electronic equipment is upgraded through the upgrade information determined from the pre-stored upgrade information of the application program of the system of the electronic equipment, and because the upgrade information of the application program of the system of the pre-stored electronic equipment is stored in the storage device of the electronic equipment, even if sudden conditions such as power failure or misoperation occur in the upgrade process, the upgrade information of the application program of the system of the pre-stored electronic equipment stored in the storage device of the electronic equipment cannot be damaged, and after the power is re-powered on, the upgrade information can be determined from the upgrade information of the application program of the system of the pre-stored electronic equipment again to be upgraded again, so that the stability of software upgrade in the electronic equipment is improved, and the normal use of the electronic equipment is ensured.

For example, a loader script is run to launch a first application in the rootfs partition to generate version information for the first application.
Optionally, the start script is further configured to start an upgrade script (upgrade loader script) in a storage device of the electronic device, so that the storage device runs the upgrade script, so as to upgrade the first application program.
Specifically, the version information obtaining module 401 is specifically configured to: and obtaining version information of the first application program in the system of the electronic equipment by running the upgrading script.
The version information is used for indicating whether the version number of the first application program exists or not. That is, when the first application program operates normally, the version number of the first application program is generated; and when the first application program cannot normally run due to misoperation or BUG existing in the first application program and the like, the version number cannot be generated. And determining the upgrading information of the first application program subsequently based on whether the version number of the first application program exists or not.
Specifically, the upgrade information determining module 402 is configured to determine, according to the version information of the first application program, upgrade information of the first application program from pre-stored upgrade information of application programs of the system.
Wherein the pre-stored upgrade information of the application program of the system is stored in a storage device in the electronic device.
The existing upgrading method generally finishes software upgrading by downloading or copying an upgrading file, the upgrading stability of the method is poor, the downloaded or copied upgrading file can be damaged if the method meets the emergency conditions such as power failure or misoperation, the software upgrading cannot be carried out again after the upgrading file is electrified again because the upgrading file is damaged, namely, the software upgrading fails when the emergency conditions such as power failure or misoperation are met. Failure of a software upgrade may seriously affect the normal use functionality of the electronic device.
In this embodiment, since the upgrade information of the application program of the system is pre-stored, that is, the pre-stored upgrade information of the application program of the system is stored in the storage device of the electronic device, the upgrade information determination module 402 may determine the upgrade information of the first application program from the pre-stored upgrade information of the application program of the system according to the version information of the first application program, so that even if an emergency such as a power failure or an incorrect operation occurs during the upgrade process, the upgrade information of the application program of the system of the electronic device stored in the storage device of the electronic device is not damaged, and after the power is re-turned on, the upgrade information determination module 402 may re-determine the upgrade information from the pre-stored upgrade information of the application program of the system of the electronic device, so that the subsequent upgrade module 403 can re-perform upgrade, therefore, the stability of software upgrading in the electronic equipment is improved, and the normal use of the electronic equipment is further ensured.
The upgrading information comprises a second application program and/or a configuration file of the second application program; wherein the second application is an upgraded version of the first application.

The application layer of the system is also the rootfs partition in fig. 2. Compared with a Flash area flashing mode, the upgrading stability can be improved. Meanwhile, the contents in the uboot partition and the kernel partition in the Flash area are reserved, so that the upgrading efficiency is improved.
Since one or more application programs are included in the system of the electronic device, when a plurality of application programs exist, the respective application programs can be upgraded in turn. The upgrading sequence can be a system default upgrading sequence or a user-defined setting.
In order to improve the upgrading efficiency, a breakpoint identifier can be set in the upgrading information, and the breakpoint identifier is used for recording an identifier of the application program being upgraded. Furthermore, when an emergency such as power failure occurs, and after power is turned on again, the loader script finds the upgrade loader script of the storage device and runs, and according to the breakpoint identifier, the upgrade loader script can quickly find the first application program being upgraded when the breakpoint occurs, and the upgrade module 403 can upgrade the first application program again according to the upgrade information, that is, the configuration files of the corresponding second application program and the corresponding second application program are covered and replaced with the configuration files of the first application program and the corresponding first application program, without starting to upgrade from the first application program, so that the upgrade stability of the first application program is ensured.
Furthermore, the breakpoint identification can also be used for recording the upgrading process of the application program being upgraded, and then after the application program is powered on again, the first application program can be continuously upgraded based on the record in the breakpoint identification, so that the upgrading efficiency of the application program is further improved.
Moreover, after the upgrade module 403 finishes upgrading the application program in the system, second reminding information may be output, where the second reminding information is used to indicate that the first application program is upgraded, that is, the software in the electronic device is upgraded successfully.
