Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
When Solid State Disk (SSD) is used in storage, especially in actual factory production, firmware programming and post assembly are required to be performed, factory aging test is performed, and an external offline programming mode can effectively improve production efficiency and simplify flow of enterprises, so that firmware offline programming is required to be performed in a nonvolatile medium Norflash, SSD products can be subjected to continuous online upgrading service due to the characteristic of firmware BUG or updated new products after leaving factories, and online upgrading in a very short time is required to be ensured, so that influence on user service is reduced.
However, when the upgraded firmware is saved to the non-volatile medium Norflash, the slow erasing and writing speed of the upgraded firmware will cause the whole firmware to be upgraded for too long, and cause the abnormality of the enterprise storage service; if all the firmware is written into the second medium of the SSD, the factory offline programming cannot be guaranteed. In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a firmware upgrading method, a device and a readable storage medium, and fig. 1 is a schematic flow diagram of the firmware upgrading method, and provides a firmware upgrading method, which includes:

the read-only slot area also stores read-only function firmware for offline programming;
the capacity of the first medium is smaller than the capacity of the second medium;
the firmware upgrading speed of the first medium is smaller than that of the second medium.
In step 101, the first medium is a Norflash medium, and the second medium is a Nand medium, and the invention can execute firmware running instructions and firmware upgrading instructions, and by dividing a slot area of the firmware, the invention only supports firmware read-only in a read-only slot area, but cannot support firmware upgrading, and is used for firmware upgrading in an upgrading slot area, specifically, because the read-only slot area is not used for firmware upgrading, in order to save cost, the capacity of the first medium is smaller than the capacity of the second medium, and considering that the capacity of the first medium is not required to be excessively large, the first medium corresponding to the read-only slot area can adopt a chip with a preset capacity or less, and optionally, the preset capacity is 8MB.
Optionally, the firmware upgrading speed of the first medium is smaller than that of the second medium, and the second medium corresponding to the upgrading slot area for firmware upgrading can ensure that the upgrading speed is higher and the storage time is shorter, so that the upgraded firmware is stored in the second medium, and quick firmware upgrading can be realized.
