In the embodiment of the application, the upgrading firmware of the sub-equipment is obtained by analyzing the upgrading firmware information packet, so that the purpose of updating the current firmware version of the sub-equipment to the second target firmware version based on the upgrading firmware of the sub-equipment is achieved.
Optionally, after analyzing the upgrade firmware information packet to obtain the upgrade firmware, and after executing the corresponding upgrade operation based on the upgrade firmware, if the execution of the upgrade operation related to the upgrade firmware fails, the gateway device may record the number of upgrade failures related to the upgrade firmware, and if the number of upgrade failures reaches a preset number, delete the upgrade firmware.
It should be noted that, if the upgrade failure times related to the upgraded firmware do not reach the preset times, the gateway device may continue to execute the corresponding upgrade operation based on the upgraded firmware. Specifically, if the upgrade failure times related to the upgrade firmware do not reach the preset times, the gateway device may continue to execute the corresponding upgrade operation based on the upgrade firmware after a preset time interval.
The preset times can be 3 times per day, 5 times per day, or other times, and the specific preset times are determined by technicians according to data conditions.
In the embodiment of the application, after the upgrade firmware information packet is analyzed to obtain the upgrade firmware, and corresponding upgrade operation is executed based on the upgrade firmware, if the upgrade operation related to the upgrade firmware fails to be executed, the upgrade failure times related to the upgrade firmware are recorded, when the upgrade failure times reach the preset times, the upgrade firmware is deleted, and when the upgrade failure times do not reach the preset times, the corresponding upgrade operation is continuously executed based on the upgrade firmware, so that repeated downloading of the upgrade firmware information packet is avoided, and for the gateway equipment with limited flow, the purpose of saving flow consumption caused by upgrading of the gateway equipment and the sub-equipment is achieved.
The following illustrates the generation process of the upgrade firmware information package:
the server may store the latest firmware version information corresponding to the gateway device and the child device of the gateway device, respectively. After receiving the current version information of the gateway device and the sub device, the server may determine whether the gateway device and the sub device have a device to be upgraded by checking whether the current version information of the gateway device and the sub device is lower than the latest firmware version information corresponding to the gateway device and the sub device, respectively. The equipment to be upgraded is equipment with current version information lower than the corresponding latest firmware version information. After determining that the gateway device and the sub-device have the device to be upgraded, the server may use the latest firmware version indicated by the latest firmware version information corresponding to the device to be upgraded as the upgrade firmware. The server may then obtain the determined upgrade firmware from the local or connected device and package the determined upgrade firmware based on configuration information relating to the firmware upgrade, generating an upgrade firmware information package.
In the embodiment of the application, whether the current version information of the gateway equipment and/or the current version information of the sub-equipment is lower than the corresponding latest firmware version information is checked through the server, and whether the gateway equipment needs to download the upgrade firmware information packet is determined, so that repeated downloading of the upgrade firmware information packet is avoided, and for the gateway equipment with limited flow, the flow consumption caused by upgrading of the gateway equipment and the sub-equipment is saved.
Optionally, after receiving the current version information sent by the gateway device (for example, the current version information of the gateway device, the child device of the gateway device, and/or the coordinator), the server sends, to the gateway device, a prompt message for prompting that no firmware is updated if it is determined that the device to be upgraded does not exist in the device corresponding to the received current version information. The gateway device may not download the upgrade firmware information package in response to receiving the prompt message, thereby avoiding downloading useless upgrade firmware information packages to save traffic consumption.
