Detailed Description
For the purposes of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are within the scope of the present application based on the embodiments herein.
In order to solve the problem that firmware upgrade of a module cannot be completed due to limited memory space of the module or an upper computer, the embodiment of the application provides a firmware upgrade method, in an application server, as shown in fig. 1, the firmware upgrade method includes steps 101-102:
step 101: splitting the upgrade firmware data corresponding to the upgrade firmware to obtain a plurality of upgrade firmware sub-data with preset lengths.
The upgrade firmware is the upgrade firmware of the module, and is used for upgrading the firmware of the module.
Optionally, the server splits the upgrade firmware data corresponding to the upgrade firmware based on the size of the upgrade firmware of the module, that is, the total length of the upgrade firmware data corresponding to the upgrade firmware, to obtain upgrade firmware sub-data with a plurality of preset lengths.
That is, the plurality of upgrade firmware sub-data of the preset length may constitute complete upgrade firmware data.
The preset length of the upgrade firmware sub-data may be determined based on the total length of the upgrade firmware data. If the total length of the upgrade firmware data is longer, the length of the divided upgrade firmware sub-data, that is, the preset length, will also be longer.
In one possible implementation, the preset length includes a first preset length and a second preset length. At this time, if the total length of the upgrade firmware data is greater than or equal to the target total length, splitting the upgrade firmware data according to the first preset length to obtain a plurality of upgrade firmware sub-data with the first preset length; if the total length of the upgrade firmware data is smaller than the target total length, splitting the upgrade firmware data according to the second preset length to obtain a plurality of upgrade firmware sub-data with the second preset length. The first preset length is greater than the second preset length, and the target total length, the first preset length and the second preset length can be preset.
It can be understood that the target total length may be multiple, so that, for different total lengths of the upgrade firmware data, the preset length set when the upgrade firmware data is split may be adaptively adjusted, and at this time, the number of the obtained upgrade firmware sub-data with multiple preset lengths is not too large or too small. In this way, the number of times of the repeated transmission of the whole upgrade firmware data is limited within a certain range, so that the problems of more times of the repeated transmission and more complicated firmware upgrade operation are avoided, the problems of less times of the repeated transmission, longer data required to be transmitted at a time, smaller storage space of an upper computer or a module, incomplete data downloading of the upgrade firmware and failure of the firmware upgrade can be avoided.
In one possible implementation, the preset length may be a fixed value or a fixed range of values.
The predetermined length may be, for example, 5-10 kbytes.
Step 102: and sequentially sending the plurality of firmware upgrading sub-data with the preset length to the module through the upper computer so that the module can conveniently use the plurality of firmware upgrading sub-data with the preset length received and stored in the target storage area to upgrade the firmware.
That is, the server sequentially transmits the plurality of firmware sub-data with the preset length to the upper computer, and then the upper computer sequentially transmits the plurality of firmware sub-data with the preset length to the module. Correspondingly, the module receives a plurality of firmware upgrading sub-data with preset lengths, which are sequentially sent by the upper computer, and stores the firmware upgrading sub-data in the target storage area, and then the module uses the firmware upgrading sub-data with the preset lengths, which are stored in the target storage area, to upgrade the firmware.
The target storage area is a storage area in the module.
For example, the target storage area may be a FLASH or ROM, which is different from the module memory, and the data in the target storage area is not lost after the module is powered down.
It should be noted that, through the above-mentioned process, the server splits the firmware data that upgrades corresponding to firmware and then sends to the host computer in proper order, and then sends to the module in proper order by the host computer and stores in the target storage area of module, can reduce the data volume of single transmission, avoid because of the memory space of host computer or module is insufficient leads to the module can not obtain complete firmware data that upgrades, and then leads to the condition that the firmware upgrades the failure, improves the firmware upgrade success rate.
Optionally, the server further sends the total length of the firmware upgrading data to the upper computer, so that the upper computer can send a firmware upgrading instruction to the module after determining that the upper computer receives the complete firmware upgrading based on the accumulated lengths of the plurality of firmware upgrading sub-data with preset lengths and the total length of the firmware upgrading data, which are sequentially received from the server, so as to instruct the module to conduct firmware upgrading.
In this way, the upper computer can ensure that the upper computer has received complete upgrade firmware data and can completely send the upgrade firmware data to the module, so that the module can use the complete upgrade firmware data received and stored by the upper computer to upgrade the firmware of the module, and the module can be ensured to successfully upgrade the firmware under the condition that the memory space of the upper computer and the module is insufficient.
In order to solve the problem that the firmware upgrade of the module cannot be completed due to the limited memory space of the module or the upper computer, the embodiment of the application provides a firmware upgrade method applied to the upper computer, as shown in fig. 2, the firmware upgrade method includes steps 201-202:
step 201: and acquiring a plurality of pieces of firmware upgrading sub-data with preset lengths, which are sequentially transmitted by the server.
Optionally, the server sequentially sends a plurality of firmware upgrading sub-data with preset lengths to the upper computer, and correspondingly, the upper computer sequentially receives the firmware upgrading sub-data with preset lengths sent by the server. For an introduction of the process that the server obtains the plurality of firmware sub-data with the preset length, refer to the above, and will not be described herein.
In one possible implementation, the upper computer actively obtains upgrade firmware data required by the firmware upgrade of the module from the server. At this time, the upper computer can acquire upgrade firmware data corresponding to the upgrade firmware of the module from the server through the wireless network by using an http or ftp mode. In response, the server divides the upgrade firmware data corresponding to the upgrade firmware into a plurality of upgrade firmware sub-data with preset lengths, and sequentially sends the upgrade firmware sub-data to the upper computer so that the upper computer can acquire the upgrade firmware data.
Specifically, the user issues a user instruction to the upper computer, where the user instruction is used to instruct the upper computer to upgrade the firmware of the module. Correspondingly, after receiving a user instruction issued by a user, the upper computer invokes an interface provided by the module to dial data, and after the data dialing is successful, the upper computer accesses the server through the wireless network. In this way, the upper computer and the server can communicate through a wireless network. At this time, the upper computer can obtain the firmware upgrading data of the module from the server through the wireless network.
Step 202: and sequentially sending the plurality of firmware upgrading sub-data with the preset length to the module so that the module can conveniently upgrade the firmware by using the plurality of firmware upgrading sub-data with the preset length which are received and stored in the target storage area by the module.
Optionally, the upper computer sequentially sends the plurality of firmware sub-data with preset length to the module, and the corresponding module receives the plurality of firmware sub-data with preset length sequentially sent by the upper computer and stores the plurality of firmware sub-data with preset length in a target storage area of the module.
In one possible implementation manner, after the upper computer receives the firmware upgrading sub-data with a preset length, the upper computer sends the firmware upgrading sub-data with the preset length to the module. And then, the upper computer receives the other firmware upgrading sub-data with the preset length and sends the other firmware upgrading sub-data with the preset length to the module.
Specifically, the upper computer receives and caches upgrade firmware sub-data with a preset length, and deletes the upgrade firmware sub-data with the preset length cached in the upper computer after sending the upgrade firmware sub-data with the preset length to the module. And then, the upper computer receives and caches the upgrade firmware sub-data with another preset length, and deletes the upgrade firmware sub-data with the other preset length cached in the upper computer after sending the upgrade firmware sub-data with the other preset length to the module. Repeating the processes of receiving, caching, sending and deleting the updated firmware sub-data with the preset length until a plurality of updated firmware sub-data obtained by splitting the updated firmware data are sent to the module.
Optionally, the server sends the total length of the upgrade firmware data corresponding to the upgrade firmware of the module to the upper computer, and correspondingly, the upper computer receives the upgrade firmware data sent by the server. Then, the upper computer determines whether the upper computer receives complete upgrade firmware data based on the accumulated length of a plurality of upgrade firmware sub-data with preset lengths and the total length of the upgrade firmware data, which are received from the server. If the upper computer receives complete firmware upgrading data, a firmware upgrading instruction is sent to the module so as to instruct the module to upgrade the firmware.
The firmware upgrading instruction is used for triggering the module to upgrade the firmware.
That is, if the host computer does not receive the complete firmware upgrade data, the firmware upgrade instruction is not sent to the module. At this time, the upper computer continues to acquire the firmware upgrading data with the preset length from the server until the upper computer acquires the complete firmware upgrading data, and sends a firmware upgrading instruction to the module.
It will be appreciated that the firmware upgrade instruction may be sent to the module after or simultaneously with the host computer sending the complete upgrade firmware data that it obtains to the module.
In one possible implementation manner, if the accumulated length of the upgrade firmware sub-data with the preset length received by the upper computer reaches the total length of the upgrade firmware data, it is determined that the upper computer receives the complete upgrade firmware data. Otherwise, if the data is not reached, the upper computer is determined to not receive the complete upgrade firmware data.
In one possible implementation manner, the upper computer is located between the modules and communicates through a USB or PCIe interface, that is, the upper computer may sequentially send, to the modules, a plurality of firmware update sub-data with preset lengths, which are sequentially received from the server, through the USB or PCIe interface.
Through the process, the upper computer acquires the upgrade firmware data corresponding to the upgrade firmware of the module from the server in a divided manner, and then sequentially sends the upgrade firmware data to the module and stores the upgrade firmware data in the target storage area of the module, so that the data quantity of single transmission can be reduced, the situation that the module cannot acquire complete upgrade firmware data due to insufficient memory space of the upper computer or the module, and further firmware upgrade failure is caused is avoided, and the success rate of firmware upgrade is improved.
In addition, after the upper computer ensures that the upper computer has received complete firmware upgrading data and can completely send the firmware upgrading data to the module, the module is instructed to carry out firmware upgrading, and under the condition that the memory space of the upper computer or the module is limited, the module can obtain the complete firmware upgrading data, the firmware upgrading can be successfully carried out, and the success rate of the firmware upgrading is improved.
In order to solve the problem that the firmware upgrade of the module cannot be completed due to the limited memory space of the module or the upper computer, the embodiment of the present application provides a firmware upgrade method applied to the module, as shown in fig. 3, the firmware upgrade method includes steps 301-302:
step 301: and receiving a plurality of firmware upgrading sub-data with preset lengths, which are sequentially transmitted by the server through the upper computer, and storing the firmware upgrading sub-data in a target storage area.
The server splits the upgrade firmware data corresponding to the upgrade firmware when the plurality of upgrade firmware sub-data with preset lengths are obtained.
Step 302: and upgrading the firmware by using a plurality of upgrading firmware sub-data with preset lengths stored in the target storage area.
In one possible implementation, the module receives a firmware upgrade instruction issued by the host computer, and triggers the module to upgrade the firmware in response to the firmware upgrade instruction. And then restarting the module to enter an upgrade mode, and using upgrade firmware, namely upgrade firmware sub-data of a plurality of preset lengths stored in the target storage area, to upgrade the firmware.
Through the process, the server splits the upgrade firmware data corresponding to the upgrade firmware and then sequentially sends the upgrade firmware data to the upper computer, and then the upper computer sequentially sends the upgrade firmware data to the module and stores the upgrade firmware data in a target storage area of the module, such as FLASH or ROM, so that the data quantity of single transmission can be reduced, the situation that the module cannot acquire complete upgrade firmware data due to insufficient memory space of the upper computer or the module, and further firmware upgrade failure is caused is avoided, and the success rate of firmware upgrade is improved.
In summary, the application provides a firmware upgrading method of a module under the condition of limited storage space, which can realize the firmware upgrading of the module under the condition of limited storage space of the module and limited storage space of an upper computer, and ensure the success rate of the firmware upgrading of the module.

The server is connected with the upper computer in a communication way, and the upper computer is connected with the module in a communication way.

For example, when the fota of the wireless module is upgraded, the data dialing is not performed in the module, but performed by the upper computer, and after the data dialing of the upper computer is successful, the upgrade firmware of the module is obtained from the server through the wireless network by using an http or ftp mode. The upper computer acquires upgrade firmware data with preset length (for example, 5-10 kbytes) from the server each time, sends the data to the module through the USB or PCIe interface, and stores the data into the FLASH or the ROM after the module receives the data. Thus, the updated firmware of the module after multiple data transmission is finally stored in the module FLASH or ROM.
