At present, the existing firmware program upgrading method has the problem of poor stability, so that the firmware program upgrading is easy to fail, and other unpredictable results are even affected. Therefore, the invention provides the firmware program upgrading method, the firmware program upgrading device and the electronic equipment, which can effectively improve the stability of the firmware program upgrading process.
To facilitate understanding of the present embodiment, first, a detailed description is given of an upgrading method of a firmware program disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the method is applied to a control motherboard, and the control motherboard is installed with the firmware program, where the firmware program may include one or more of a monitor program (XP), a configuration program (EProom), and a boot program (boot), and referring to a flowchart of the upgrading method of the firmware program shown in fig. 1, the method mainly includes the following steps S102 to S106:
and step S102, entering a program upgrading mode when a program upgrading signal is received, and receiving an upgrading data packet corresponding to a firmware program. The program upgrade signal is used for indicating the control mainboard to enter a program upgrade mode, and the upgrade data packet may include a Clock data packet and a Date data packet. In one embodiment, the control motherboard may be connected to a peripheral program editor (or emulator), where the peripheral program editor sends a program upgrade signal to the control motherboard, and the control motherboard may enter a program upgrade mode when receiving the program upgrade signal, and continue to receive an upgrade data packet sent by the peripheral program editor in the program upgrade mode.
And step S104, upgrading the firmware program based on the pre-configured upgrading program and the upgrading data packet. In one embodiment, the upgrade program may be executed to install the upgrade data package to the control motherboard, thereby implementing the upgrade of the firmware program.
And S106, monitoring the upgrading process of the firmware program, restarting the upgrading program when the upgrading process is monitored to be abnormal, and upgrading the firmware program based on the restarted upgrading program and the upgrading data packet until the upgrading of the firmware program is successful. In practical application, the upgrading process of the firmware program may have a condition that the program runs away in the upgrading process of the firmware program, so that the upgrading of the firmware program fails, and in order to improve the problem, the control mainboard provided by the embodiment of the invention can be configured with a monitoring circuit (such as a watchdog chip), monitors the upgrading process through the monitoring circuit, and triggers the control mainboard to restart the upgrading program in time when an abnormality is monitored, so that the upgrading program and the upgrading data packet are reused to upgrade the firmware program until the upgrading of the firmware program is successful.
In addition, by monitoring the upgrading process, the upgrading program can be restarted in time when the upgrading process is abnormal, and the firmware program is upgraded again, so that the stability of the upgrading process of the firmware program is effectively improved, the success rate of upgrading the firmware program is improved, and unpredictable consequences caused by the failure of upgrading the firmware program are avoided.
To facilitate understanding of the upgrading method of the firmware program provided in the foregoing embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control motherboard, where the control motherboard includes a control Chip (CPU) and a hardware interface electrically connected to the control chip, and referring to a schematic structural diagram of a hardware interface shown in fig. 2, the hardware interface may include multiple interfaces and at least include a signal receiving interface and a packet receiving port, the packet receiving port may include an interface for receiving a Clock packet and an interface for receiving a Date packet, and exemplary pins of the hardware interface shown in fig. 2 are defined as follows: the RST interface is an interface for receiving a program upgrade signal (which may be referred to as a reset signal), the C2D interface is an interface for receiving a Date packet (which may be referred to as a burst signal), and the C2D interface is an interface for receiving a Clock packet (which may be referred to as a burst signal).
In addition, referring to the structural schematic diagram of a control chip shown in fig. 3, the control chip shown in fig. 3 has a model number of C8051F340, where a 13 th pin of the control chip is connected to a C2CK interface of the hardware interface and also connected to a/RST interface of the hardware interface via a resistor, and a 14 th pin of the control chip is connected to a C2D interface of the hardware interface.
Based on the foregoing fig. 2 and fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides an implementation manner that enters a program upgrade mode when receiving a program upgrade signal and receives an upgrade data packet corresponding to a firmware program, where the implementation manner is as follows, in step 1 to step 3:
And 2, receiving a program upgrading signal sent by the peripheral program editor through the signal interface. In one embodiment, the program upgrade signal may be received through the/RST interface and transmitted to the control chip.
And 3, setting the running mode of the control chip as a program upgrading mode, and receiving an upgrading data packet sent by the peripheral program editor through a data packet receiving port. In an embodiment, when the program upgrade signal is received, the control chip enters a program upgrade mode, at this time, the upgrade data packet may be received through the C2D interface and the C2D interface, and the upgrade data packet is transmitted to the control chip, and the control chip runs a pre-configured upgrade program to install the upgrade data packet, thereby implementing upgrade of the firmware program.
In an embodiment, the control motherboard further includes a monitoring circuit, referring to a schematic structural diagram of the monitoring circuit shown in fig. 4, the monitoring circuit includes an SP706 chip, where the control motherboard further includes a monitoring circuit, a level monitoring pin of the monitoring circuit is electrically connected to a level output pin of the control chip, a signal sending pin of the monitoring circuit is electrically connected to a signal receiving pin of the control chip, in combination with fig. 3 and fig. 4, that is, a 7 th pin (level monitoring pin) of the SP706 chip is connected to a 13 th pin (level output pin) of the control chip, a 6 th pin (signal sending pin) of the SP706 chip is connected to a 14 th pin (signal receiving pin) of the control chip, and the monitoring circuit may cooperate with the control motherboard to enter a program upgrade mode, and may also prevent a firmware program from accidentally running away after the firmware program is upgraded.
On the basis of fig. 4, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an implementation manner for monitoring an upgrade process of a firmware program and restarting the upgrade program when it is monitored that there is an exception in the upgrade process, which refers to the following steps a to c:
and a, monitoring the level at the level output pin through a level monitoring pin of the monitoring circuit. In practical application, if the upgrading process of the firmware program is not abnormal, the upgrading program timely turns over the state of the level output pin, namely the level of the level output pin is changed repeatedly; if the upgrading process of the firmware program is abnormal, the level at the level data pin is fixed to a HIGH level (HIGH) or a LOW Level (LOW).
And b, judging whether the level at the level output pin is kept unchanged within a first preset time length through the monitoring circuit. If yes, executing step c; if not, ending. For example, if it is monitored that the level at the level output pin is fixed to a high level or a low level and the duration exceeds 1.6s, it may be determined that an exception occurs in the upgrade process of the firmware program and the upgrade program needs to be restarted.
And c, restarting the upgrading program through the control chip. In one embodiment, (1) a first reset signal is generated by the monitoring circuit and is sent to the signal receiving pin through the signal sending pin, wherein the first reset signal is used for instructing the control chip to restart the upgrade program. (2) And when the signal receiving pin receives the first reset signal, restarting the upgrading program through the control chip. In practical application, when the control mainboard is powered on, the SP706 chip automatically generates a low-level reset signal of 200us, so that the control chip is automatically reset. The control chip configures one of the I/O pins as an output (i.e., the signal receiving pin described above) and connects to the WDI pin (i.e., the aforementioned pin 6) of the SP706 chip. If the level at the I/O pin is fixed to a HIGH or LOW level, the SP706 chip internal watchdog timer overflows after 1.6S and causes the/WDO pin (pin 8) to output a LOW level, and the/WDO pin has been connected to the manual reset/MR. Therefore, the RST pin is caused to output a low level reset signal to reset the control chip, and it should be noted that when the control chip is not in the program upgrading mode, that is, when the control chip is in normal operation, the monitoring circuit will not be allowed to send the first reset signal, or the related program will not be restarted when the first reset signal is received, so that the state of the I/O must be timely reversed when the upgrading program is running, which is visually called "dog feeding". In practical application, once the program runs by accident and is likely to fall into a dead loop without a feeding dog, the program is automatically reset to be reset after exceeding 1.6S and is not always in a fault state.
In practical application, in order to avoid the situation that the firmware program runs away accidentally after the firmware program is upgraded, a second reset signal can be generated through the monitoring circuit, the second reset signal is sent to the signal receiving pin through the signal sending pin, and when the signal receiving pin receives the second reset signal, the firmware program is restarted through the control chip. In practical application, after the firmware program is upgraded, the monitoring circuit sends the second reset signal to the control chip, so that the control program restarts the firmware program, and the firmware program is put into subsequent use.
In an optional implementation manner, the control main board further comprises an indicator light connected with the control chip, and on this basis, during the program upgrading mode, the indicator light is controlled by the control chip to flash according to a preset frequency. In another alternative embodiment, when the peripheral program editor is connected to the hardware interface, the control indicator lamp is turned off, and when the firmware program is successfully upgraded and the restart is completed, the control indicator lamp is turned on and off to inform the user that the firmware program is completely upgraded.
As to the firmware program upgrading method provided in the foregoing embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention provides a firmware program upgrading apparatus, which is applied to a control motherboard, where the firmware program is installed on the control motherboard, and referring to a schematic structural diagram of the firmware program upgrading apparatus shown in fig. 5, the apparatus includes the following parts:
