Accordingly, when software upgrade is performed on the extended function module, the secondary controller 321 acquires a first upgrade file from the primary controller, and stores the acquired first upgrade file in the first upgrade file temporary storage area 325; then, the secondary controller 321 performs software upgrade on the extended function module according to the first upgrade file stored in the first upgrade file temporary storage area 325.
In one possible implementation manner, the secondary controller 321 obtains the first upgrade file from the primary controller, and stores the obtained first upgrade file in the first upgrade file temporary storage area 325; the auxiliary controller 321 checks the first upgrade file stored in the first upgrade file temporary storage region 325 to determine the correctness of the first upgrade file; optionally, the secondary controller 321 may perform a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) on the first upgrade file stored in the first upgrade file temporary storage area 325.
