Step S103, based on the upgrade control instruction and the software upgrade package, upgrading software to the server.

In the software upgrading method of the server, the communication connection between the server and the upper computer is established based on the target composite module on the server; under the condition that the server establishes communication connection with the upper computer, the server receives a software upgrading packet and an upgrading control instruction sent by the upper computer; and the server performs software upgrading based on the received software upgrading package and the upgrading control instruction. Compared with the method for locally upgrading the server through the storage device in the prior art, the method has the advantages that the server and the upper computer are connected through the USB bus, and the communication connection between the server and the upper computer is established through the target compound module, so that the server can conduct software upgrading based on the received software upgrading package and the upgrading control instruction. Because the scheme does not need to copy the software upgrading package into the storage equipment or restart the server, the scheme can realize hot updating of the server and ensure simpler operation of upgrading the server. Compared with the prior art, the method for remotely updating the server through the SSH service has the advantages that service ports such as the SSH are not required to be opened, and therefore the software upgrading method is safer. Therefore, the problems of complex operation and low safety of the software upgrading of the embedded Linux server in the prior art are solved.

Specifically, compared with the method for carrying out local upgrading through a serial port mode in the prior art, the software upgrading method of the application adopts the USB data bus to transmit the software upgrading packet, so that the transmission speed is high, and the software upgrading of the server is carried out rapidly.

In the practical application process, the USB interface may be configured as a target composite module based on any feasible method in the prior art. In the application, the specific method for configuring the USB interface as the target composite module is not limited, and only the communication connection between the host computer and the server needs to be established.

In a specific embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned upper computer may be an electronic device such as a computer. The user may install the target software on the computer. Under the condition that the server and the upper computer are physically connected through the USB bus, the target software is opened, namely, the connected words and the like can be displayed on the visual interface corresponding to the target software, so that a user can upload the software upgrading package through any feasible method such as dragging or selecting at the position of file uploading, and under the condition that the user clicks the words and the like such as upgrading, the upper computer can send the software upgrading package and upgrading control instructions (namely, upgrading control instructions generated by clicking the words and the like by the user) to the server, and the server can conduct software upgrading based on the software upgrading package and the upgrading control instructions.

Specifically, when the upper computer is connected with the server through the USB bus, the upper computer may automatically detect the hardware address of the target composite module, and the upper computer may send the verification request information to the first target module through the serial port communication. Under the condition that the first target module passes verification, the second target module sends the IP address of the allocated server to the upper computer, so that the communication connection between the upper computer and the server is established under the safer condition.

Specifically, in the above embodiment, for the user, only the target software on the upper computer needs to be opened. That is, the establishment of the communication connection between the upper computer and the server is not felt by the user, i.e. the user does not need to perform complex operation, thus ensuring better use experience of the user and simpler operation of upgrading the software of the server.

In the actual application process, the first target module may be a serial device, and the second target module may be an RNDIS network card device. Specifically, the target composition module may further comprise a CD-ROM storage device.

Specifically, in the above embodiment, the predetermined decryption algorithm may be any decryption algorithm that is feasible in the prior art. In the present application, the specific algorithm of the above-described predetermined decryption algorithm is not limited.

Specifically, in the above embodiment, the verification request information is decoded by a predetermined decryption algorithm to obtain the target feature string. The target feature string may be a feature string of target software operated by the host computer. For the server, after the target feature string is decrypted, whether the verification request information is communicated or not is determined based on the target feature string and a preset rule stored in the server in advance, namely, the target feature string, and the server can determine whether the verification request information is initiated by the designated target software or not more simply and accurately. Thus, the security of the server is further ensured to be higher, and the implementation is easy.
