Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method capable of quickly updating an operating system of a data storage device.
Background
When a computer is used, the operating system is often damaged due to improper operation, poisoning or power failure. Therefore, before the computer is shipped, the manufacturer of the computer cuts the data storage sector inside the computer into an operating system area and a system restore area. The operating system area stores an operating system, and the system restore area stores a standby operating system, such as a system restore file. When the user wants to execute the operating system updating program of the computer, the user can press a restoring key electrically connected with the main board to trigger the restoring function of the operating system. After the os restore function is triggered, the BIOS or the miniaturized system of the computer will restore the os in the os area by using the standby os in the os restore area.
In addition, in the past, if the standby operating system is to be updated, a completely new standby operating system is generally downloaded from the cloud server of the operating system provider to cover the original standby operating system in the system restore area. However, the archival capacity of the complete new standby operating system is often so large that a long time is required to download the file, which is inconvenient for the updating of the standby operating system.

The firmware of the controller updates the first standby operating system in the second system storage sector by using the operating system differential file to obtain a new version of the first standby operating system. Therefore, the standby operating system of the data storage device can be updated rapidly only by downloading an operating system differential file with small file capacity, so that the updating convenience of the standby operating system is improved.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a data storage device, wherein a firmware of a controller presets a boot pointer to a first start sector address of a first system storage sector, and uses the first start sector address as a main boot sector address.

The data storage unit also comprises a third system storage sector, and the third system storage sector stores a second standby operating system. The firmware of the controller updates the second standby operating system in the third system storage sector by using the operating system differential file to obtain a new version of the second standby operating system. During the operation of the first standby operating system of the second system storage sector, the firmware of the controller executes an original operating system restoring program to update the original operating system of the first system storage sector by using the new version of the second standby operating system of the third system storage sector. When the original operating system in the first system storage sector is updated, the firmware of the controller moves the boot pointer from the second initial sector address back to the first initial sector address, and the electronic device executes the boot again and operates with the updated original operating system.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a data storage device according to the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic sector diagram of an embodiment of a data storage unit of the data storage device according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the data storage device 100 of the present invention may also be a Solid State Disk (Solid State Disk) disposed in an electronic device, such as a computer or an automation device, as an operating system storage medium of the electronic device. The data storage device 100 includes a controller 11, a data storage unit 12, a data transmission interface 13, a network communication component 14 and a microprocessor 15. The controller 11 is connected to the data storage unit 12 and the data transmission interface 13, and the microprocessor 15 is connected to the controller 11 and the network communication component 14. The data storage device 100 performs data transmission with the electronic device through the data transmission interface 13. The network communication device 14 may also be a WiFi communication device, an Ethernet communication device, a 3G, 4G or 5G communication device, or an Internet-connectable communication device.
The controller 11 includes a firmware 111. The data storage unit 12 includes a plurality of flash memories formed with a plurality of data sectors. As shown in fig. 2, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 divides the data sector of the data storage unit 12 into a first system storage sector 121, a second system storage sector 122 and a data storage sector 125. The first system memory sector 121 and the data memory sector 125 are respectively preset as a display sector by the firmware 111, and the second system memory sector 122 is preset as a hidden sector by the firmware. In the present invention, the hidden sector is a physical storage space that cannot be detected by an operating system or BIOS through the logical block address, for example: the second system storage sector 122 is a reserved space (Over Provisioning, OP) provided by the solid state disk manufacturer.
The first system storage sector 121 is used for storing an original operating system 21 and includes a first initial sector address 1211. The second system storage sector 122 is used for storing a first standby operating system 22 and includes a second initial sector address 1221. The data sector of the first initial sector address 1211 is recorded with a master boot record (Master Boot Record; MBR) 1212, while the data sector of the second initial sector address 1221 is recorded with another Master Boot Record (MBR) 1222. The first alternate operating system 22 has the same data content as the original operating system 21.
The data storage device 100 of the present invention is connected to a cloud management platform 300 through the network communication component 14. A data storage space 31 of the cloud management platform 300 stores an operating system differential file 51. The operating system differential file 51 is provided by a computer device 50. In an embodiment of the present invention, the computer device 50 may also be a server computer and disposed in a cloud management platform 300; alternatively, the computer device 50 is an external computer with respect to the cloud management platform 300, and the network thereof is connected to the cloud management platform 300. The computer device 50 stores an original operating system 21 provided by an operating system developer and a new version of the operating system 52. The computer device 50 performs a data difference comparison on the original os 21 and the new version os 52 by using a data comparison algorithm to generate the os differential file 51, and stores the os differential file 51 in the data storage space 31 of the cloud management platform 300.
Furthermore, the microprocessor 15 of the present invention may be a separate chip; alternatively, the microprocessor 15 may be integrated into the controller 11. The microprocessor 15 includes an embedded system 151. The cloud management platform 300 monitors or manages the operation system update operation of the data storage device 100 through the embedded system 151 of the microprocessor 15. When the data storage device 100 wants to update the standby os, the embedded system 151 downloads the os differential file 51 from the cloud management platform 300 through the network communication component 14. The firmware 111 of the controller 11 updates the first standby operating system 22 in the second system storage sector 122 with the operating system differential file 51 to obtain a new version of the first standby operating system 221. In this regard, compared to the conventional case of downloading a complete new version of the operating system with a large file capacity when the standby operating system of the data storage device is to be updated, the data storage device 100 of the present invention can rapidly update the standby operating system by downloading the operating system differential file 51 with a small file capacity, so as to improve the convenience of updating the standby operating system.
Next, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 presets a boot pointer 120 to point to a first start sector address 1211 of the first system storage sector 121, and uses the first start sector address 1211 as a main boot sector address, for example: the zeroth logical block address (Logical block addressing, LBA 0). When the electronic device is started (power on), first, according to the direction of the boot pointer 120, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 enters the first system storage sector 121 of the data storage unit 12, reads the main boot record 1212 in the first initial sector address 1211 of the first system storage sector 121, and uses the main boot record 1212 to execute the boot process of the original operating system 21. After the original operating system 21 is normally started, the electronic device will execute the operation with the original operating system 21.
Furthermore, the firmware 111 defines a boot pointer shift process 1111. In an embodiment of the present invention, when the original operating system 21 is abnormal or the operating system needs to be updated, the firmware 111 executes the boot pointer shift procedure 1111 to shift the boot pointer 120 from the first initial sector address 1211 of the first system storage sector 121 to the second initial sector address 1221 of the second system storage sector 122, where the second initial sector address 1221 is used as the main boot sector address (LBA 0). Also, the first system storage sector 121 is converted from a display sector to a hidden sector, and the second system storage sector 122 is converted from a hidden sector to a display sector. Then, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 reads the primary boot record 1222 in the second initial sector address 1221 of the second system storage sector 122, and uses the primary boot record 1222 to execute the boot process of the new version of the first standby operating system 221. After the new version of the first standby operating system 221 is started up normally, the electronic device will execute the operation with the new version of the first standby operating system 221. Thus, when the original operating system 21 is abnormal or the operating system needs to be updated, the boot pointer 120 can be shifted to the second initial sector address 1221 of the second system storage sector 122, so that the new version of the first standby operating system 221 can be quickly utilized to resume the booting of the electronic device.
Referring to FIG. 3, a sector diagram of a data storage unit of a data storage device according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown, and in conjunction with FIG. 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 3, in the present embodiment, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 defines an original os update program 1113. When the original operating system 21 is abnormal or needs to be updated, the firmware 111 executes the original operating system update program 1113 to update the original operating system 21 of the first system storage sector 121 with the new version of the first standby operating system 221 in the second system storage sector 122. When the original operating system 21 is updated, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 is restarted and operated by using the updated original operating system 21.
Referring to FIG. 4, a sector diagram of a data storage unit of a data storage device according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown, and in conjunction with FIG. 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the data storage unit 12 of the present embodiment is further divided into a third system storage sector 123. The third system memory sector 123 is set by the firmware as a hidden sector, which is also the reserved space (OP) of the data storage unit 12. The third system storage sector 123 is used to store a second standby operating system 23. The second standby operating system 23 has the same data content as the first standby operating system 22 and the original operating system 21.
When the standby operating systems 22 and 23 are updated, the embedded system 151 downloads the os differential file 51 from the cloud management platform 300 through the network communication component 14, and the firmware 111 of the controller 11 updates the standby operating systems 22 and 23 by using the os differential file 51 so as to obtain new versions of the standby operating systems 221 and 231 respectively.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the data storage device 100 can be required to update the standby operating systems 22, 23 in a remote control manner. The cloud management platform 300 sends an update notification 301 of a standby os to the data storage device 100. After receiving the update notification 301 of the standby os sent by the cloud management platform 300, the embedded system 151 of the data storage device 100 downloads the os differential file 51 from the cloud management platform 300 through the network communication component 14, and requests the firmware 111 to update the standby os 22 and 23 by using the os differential file 51.
Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present invention, the data storage device 100 can be required to update the standby operating systems 22, 23 in a hardware control manner. The data storage device 100 further includes an input/output port (e.g., GPIO) 16. The I/O port 16 is connected to the microprocessor 15 or the controller 11 and is externally connected to a trigger key 161. When the user wants to update the standby operating systems 22, 23, pressing the trigger key 161 triggers the input/output port 16. When the embedded system 151 knows that the input/output port 16 is triggered, it downloads the os differential file 51 from the cloud management platform 300 through the network communication component 14, and requests the firmware 111 to update the standby os 22, 23 with the os differential file 51.
Next, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 defines a boot pointer shift program 1111 and an original os update program 1113. When the original operating system 21 is abnormal and a smooth boot cannot be performed, the firmware 111 executes the boot pointer displacement program 1111 to move the boot pointer 120 from the first initial sector address 1211 of the first system storage sector 121 to the second initial sector address 1221 of the second system storage sector 122. After the boot pointer 120 is moved to the second initial sector address 1221, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 converts the first system storage sector 121 from the display sector to the hidden sector, and the second system storage sector 122 from the hidden sector to the display sector. Next, the firmware 111 reads the primary boot record 1222 in the second initial sector address 1221 of the second system storage sector 122, and uses the primary boot record 1222 to execute the boot process of the new version of the first standby operating system 221. When the new version of the first standby operating system 221 has completed booting and is running, the firmware 111 then executes the original operating system update program 1113 to update the original operating system 21 in the first system storage sector 121 with the new version of the second standby operating system 231 in the third system storage sector 123. When the original os 21 is updated, the firmware 111 sets the first system storage sector 121 as a display sector and the second system storage sector 122 as a hidden sector, and restarts and operates with the updated original os 21 in the first system storage sector 121.
In addition, in one embodiment, the firmware 111 is controlled to execute the boot pointer shift program 1111 and/or the original operating system update program 1113 in a system monitoring manner. When the embedded system 151 monitors that the original operating system 21 is abnormal or receives the information that the cloud management platform 300 requests the data storage device 100 to update the original operating system 21, the firmware 1111 is required to execute the boot pointer shift program 1111 and/or the original operating system update program 1113. Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present invention, the firmware 111 can be controlled to execute the boot pointer shift program 1111 or the original operating system update program 1113 in a hardware triggered manner. When the user knows that the original operating system 21 is abnormal or wants to update the original operating system 21 of the data storage device 100, the user can also press the trigger key 161 to trigger the input/output port 16. When the embedded system 151 knows that the input/output port 16 has been triggered, the firmware 1111 will be required to execute the boot pointer shift process 1111 and/or the original operating system update process 1113.
Referring to FIG. 5, a flowchart of a method for rapidly updating an operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the data storage unit 12 of the data storage device 100 includes a first system storage sector 121, a second system storage sector 122, and a data storage sector 125. The first system storage sector 121 and the data storage sector 125 are respectively preset as a display sector, and the second system storage sector 122 is preset as a hidden sector. The first system storage sector 121 stores an original operating system 21, and the second system storage sector 122 stores a first alternate operating system 22. The first system storage sector 121 includes a first initial sector address 1211 and the second system storage sector 122 includes a second initial sector address 1221. The first initial sector address 1211 has a master boot record 1212 and the second initial sector address 1221 has another master boot record 1222.
As shown in fig. 5, first, in step S71, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 presets a boot pointer 120 to point to a first initial sector address 1211 of the first system storage sector 121. In step S72, when the power of the computer device is turned on, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 reads the main boot record 1212 in the first initial sector address 1211, and the electronic device is turned on and operates with the original os 21. In step S73, the embedded system 151 downloads an os differential file 51 from the cloud management platform 300. In step S74, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 updates the first standby operating system 22 in the second system storage sector 122 with the os differential file 51 to obtain a new version of the first standby operating system 221.
In step S75, the embedded system 151 determines whether the original operating system 21 is abnormal or needs to be updated. If the original operating system 21 is normal and does not need to be updated, the step S76 is continued, and the electronic device continues to operate with the original operating system 21; if the original operating system 21 is abnormal or needs to be updated, the process continues to step S77, in which the firmware 111 of the controller 11 executes a boot pointer displacement procedure 1111 to move the boot pointer 120 from the first initial sector address 1211 to the second initial sector address 1221. In step S78, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 reads the main boot record 1222 in the second initial sector address 1221, and converts the first system storage sector 121 from the display sector to the hidden sector and the second system storage sector 122 from the hidden sector to the display sector, and the electronic device will perform the booting and operation with the new version of the first standby operating system 221.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the data storage unit 12 further divides a third system storage sector 123, as shown in fig. 4. The third system storage sector 123 stores a second spare operating system 23. Returning to step S74, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 further updates the second standby operating system 23 in the third system storage sector 123 with the os differential file 51 to obtain a new version of the second standby operating system 231.
Next, in step S79, during the operation of the new version of the second spare os 221 in the second system storage sector 122, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 executes an original os restore process 1113 to update the original os 21 of the first system storage sector 121 with the new version of the second spare os 231 in the third system storage sector 123. Finally, in step S80, when the electronic device is started next time, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 moves the boot pointer 120 back from the second initial sector address 1221 to the first initial sector address 1211, converts the first system storage sector 121 from the hidden sector to the display sector and the second system storage sector 122 from the display sector to the hidden sector, reads the main boot record 1212 in the first initial sector address 1211, and executes the booting again with the updated original operating system 21 in the first system storage sector 121.
Referring to fig. 6, a flowchart of a method for quickly updating an operating system according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown, and referring to fig. 1 and 3. First, in step S71, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 presets a boot pointer 120 to the first initial sector address 1211 of the first system storage sector 121. In step S72, when the power of the computer device is turned on, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 reads the main boot record 1212 in the first initial sector address 1211, and the electronic device is turned on and operates with the original os 21. In step S73, the embedded system 151 downloads an os differential file 51 from the cloud management platform 300. In step S741, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 updates the first standby operating system 22 in the second system storage sector 122 with the os differential file 51 to obtain a new version of the first standby operating system 221.
In step S75, the embedded system 151 determines whether the original operating system 21 is abnormal or needs to be updated. If the original operating system 21 is normal and does not need to be updated, the step S76 is continued, and the electronic device continues to operate with the original operating system 21; if the original operating system 21 is abnormal or needs to be updated, the step S81 is continued, and the firmware 111 of the controller 11 executes an original operating system restore process 1113 to update the original operating system 21 of the first system storage sector 121 with the new version of the first standby operating system 221 in the second system storage sector 122. Finally, in step S82, the firmware 111 of the controller 11 is powered on and operates again with the original os 21 updated in the first system storage sector 121.
The foregoing description is only one preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, i.e., all equivalent variations and modifications in shape, construction, characteristics and spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims should be construed to be included in the present claims.
