In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device is provided with a first boot area, a second boot area, a first application area, and a second application area. The boot area is used for storing a boot program, and the application program area is used for storing an application program of the terminal equipment.
The first BOOT program (BOOT1) and the second BOOT program (BOOT2) are basic programs at the time of terminal startup, mainly implement the startup BOOT of the terminal firmware (jump to the corresponding application program area for execution), and are responsible for executing simple custom work, such as copying new firmware to the application program area.
Specifically, a boot zone switch may be manually set, and the terminal device controls the terminal device to start from a designated boot zone (e.g., a first boot zone or a second boot zone) according to the boot zone switch state. If the terminal equipment enters the first BOOT area after being powered on, a BOOT program (BOOT1) in the first BOOT area guides and executes the program start of the first application program area; if the terminal device enters the second BOOT area, a BOOT program (BOOT2) in the second BOOT area BOOTs the program start of the execution second application area.

Wherein the first BOOT program (BOOT1) is stored in the first BOOT area and the first application program is stored in the first application program area. The first application program area stores a plurality of subprograms required by the operation of the terminal equipment, the first application program area is a default program area operated by the terminal equipment, after the terminal equipment is powered on, the terminal equipment can automatically enter a first BOOT area, and a first BOOT program (BOOT1) is used for booting and executing the first application program stored in the first application program area.
Optionally, the first application program includes a self-checking subprogram, a cloud platform connection detection subprogram, and a firmware rollback subprogram, where the self-checking subprogram is used to execute a start operation according to the firmware currently stored in the first application program area, detect whether the start operation is normal, and record a start condition; the cloud platform connection detection subprogram is used for judging whether the terminal is connected to the cloud platform or not after being started and recording a networking result; and the firmware rollback subprogram is used for executing program rollback when the first application program cannot be normally started.
Step S2: and executing the firmware exception judgment and the firmware rollback according to the first application program.
In this step, the firmware exception judgment is executed according to the first application program, which means that whether the firmware operation exception exists is judged according to the operation result of each subprogram in the first application program; executing the firmware rollback according to the first application program refers to rolling back the firmware to a prescribed historical version firmware by running a subroutine in the first application program.
In one embodiment, performing the firmware exception determination includes: and judging whether a terminal starting fault occurs in the running process of the first application program or not, and judging whether a terminal connection cloud platform fault occurs in the running process of the first application program or not. The terminal starting failure means that the number of times of terminal equipment restarting failure reaches a preset starting number threshold (the preset starting number threshold can be 3 times); the terminal connection cloud platform fault means that the number of times that the terminal device attempts to connect to the cloud platform reaches a preset networking number threshold (for example, the preset networking number threshold may be 5 times).
In the embodiment of the invention, the firmware rollback can be executed when the terminal start fault occurs in the running process of the first application program.
Step S3: and when the firmware operation exception occurs, adopting a second BOOT program (BOOT2) to BOOT and execute a second application program.
Wherein the second BOOT program (BOOT2) is stored in the second BOOT area, and the second application program is stored in the second application program area. The second application program area is a dedicated program area for performing troubleshooting of the abnormal problem of the terminal, that is, the second application program area can enter the second boot area when a fault occurs, and the second boot program guides and executes the second application program stored in the second application program area, so as to troubleshoot the abnormal type and cause of the firmware operation.
In this step, when a fault occurs in the terminal connecting to the cloud platform, the BOOT switch is manually set to control the terminal device to enter the second BOOT area. A firmware run exception occurs, including any of: the terminal firmware can not be connected with the cloud platform for a long time, or the terminal can not be connected with the cloud platform due to other problems of the firmware.

The cloud platform is used for managing remote upgrading of the terminal equipment and other data interaction.
Specifically, before the terminal device is powered on, the boot zone switch is manually set to control the terminal device to start from a designated boot zone (e.g., a first boot zone or a second boot zone). If the terminal is started from the first BOOT area, the first BOOT program (BOOT1) is used for booting and executing the first application program, whether a firmware operation abnormal condition (for example, the terminal is frequently restarted or the terminal cannot be connected with a cloud platform) occurs in the operation process of the first application program is judged, and if the terminal cannot be started due to the abnormal condition occurring in the operation process of the first application program, the firmware is rolled back to the specified historical version firmware.

Step S1: and adopting the first bootstrap program to guide the execution of the first application program.
The first application program has a function of detecting the firmware abnormity and rolling back the terminal firmware when the terminal is abnormally started, namely, copying the firmware which is successfully operated last time to the first application program area when the terminal is abnormally started. The execution strategy of the first application program specifically comprises the following steps:
step S201: and judging whether a terminal starting fault occurs or not.
The terminal start failure refers to a failure that a plurality of times of start failures are continued.
If a terminal start failure occurs, executing step S202; if the terminal is successfully started, step S203 is executed.
Optionally, the determining whether a terminal start failure occurs includes: judging whether the number of times of terminal start failure reaches a preset start number threshold, for example, the preset start number threshold is equal to 3; and if the number of times of terminal start failure does not reach the preset start number threshold, running and restarting by using the firmware currently stored in the first application program area.
Step S202: the firmware rollback is executed, and the execution returns to step S101.
Optionally, performing a firmware rollback comprises: and copying the historical version firmware stored in the firmware backup area to the first application program area so that the first application program is restarted by running the historical version firmware.

After the first BOOT program (BOOT1) completes the firmware upgrade check, the BOOT program jumps to the first application program area.
Under a first application program running mode, firstly, executing a self-checking subprogram, and if the continuous running time of the program is lower than the preset time, determining that the terminal is failed to start; and judging whether the number of times of terminal start failure reaches a preset start number threshold (for example, 3 times) by using the first boot area, if the number of times of terminal start failure does not reach 3 times, the first boot area guides the execution of the first application program again, at the moment, the first application program area starts the operation by using the firmware currently stored in the first application program area, and detects whether the continuous operation time of the program is lower than the preset time again, and the steps are repeated until the terminal is started successfully, or the number of times of terminal start failure reaches 3 times. And if the number of times of terminal start failure reaches 3 times, determining that the terminal start failure occurs, executing a firmware rollback subprogram, copying the historical version firmware stored in the firmware backup area to the first application program area, and starting and running the first application program by adopting the historical version firmware after the terminal is powered on next time. If the terminal is started successfully, executing a cloud platform connection detection sub-program to automatically connect the cloud platform, and if the terminal is not connected to the cloud platform for a plurality of times (for example, 5 times), determining that a fault of the terminal connected to the cloud platform occurs, at this time, starting the terminal from a second boot area in a manual mode, and executing a second application program under the guidance of a second boot program to perform problem troubleshooting.
It should be noted that, in a default case (i.e., the boot area switch is idle), the terminal device automatically enters the first boot program area after being powered on each time, and the first boot program guides the terminal device to perform the above steps.
Therefore, according to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, when the terminal cannot be started due to the fact that the firmware is remotely upgraded through the programs of the first boot area and the first application program area, the rollback fault-tolerant strategy of the terminal firmware is realized; in the manual mode, the second boot area and the second application area together complete the problem troubleshooting of abnormal conditions (for example, the terminal cannot be connected with the cloud platform, or the terminal equipment is frequently restarted due to a firmware program error) after the terminal runs for a long time, the control strategy is simple, the reliability is high, the fault tolerance of various problems in the firmware upgrading and running processes is favorably improved, and the reliability of the firmware upgrading is improved.
