Abstract
A firmware upgrade method of mobile telephone that belongs to long-distance wireless upgrade to inner firmware in mobile communication terminal such as mobile telephone is disclosed which comprises step 1, upgrade software is downloaded from upgrade server and is saved in file system; step 2, according to leading program, all the programs installed in main flash memory are copied to main memory, after that, the said upgrade software is read from said file system, and the relevant program in main memory updates; step 3, the relevant program in main memory runs using main program.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to belong to the technology of built-in firmware in the mobile communication terminals such as mobile phone etc. being carried out remote radio upgrade, more specifically, relate to a kind of firmware upgrade method that can prevent when carrying out firmware upgrade by a kind of mobile phones that factor led to errors such as power supply instabilities.
Background technology
Soon before, most mobile phone users also need the directly service centre of visit mobile operator in order to carry out firmware or application program updating, experiencing this numerous and diverse inconvenience that operation brought.And mobile operator and terminal manufacturing enterprise be also in order to carry out the mobile phone firmware upgrade and to revise various defectives, and need to drop into huge expense.
And complicated day by day various along with the function of cellular phone of nearest release needs the user that the firmware and the various application program that are built in the mobile phone are carried out real-time management.Moreover, along with popularizing of high function mobile phone and expansion are used, need tackle timely and effectively mobile phone software related defects conscientiously.
Recently, people have proposed and can download (FOTA:Firmware Over The Air) solution in the air to the firmware that built-in firmware of mobile phone etc. carries out remote radio upgrade, utilize this solution not only can survey, revise the mobile phone defective automatically, but also can under wireless status, upgrade, therefore, obtained the favorable comment of each tame mobile operator and terminal manufacturing enterprise.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing 1, the firmware upgrade method based on conventional art is described.
When the upgrade server of mobile operator when user's mobile phone has transmitted upgrading based on the FOTA solution with software (Delta Package), this software is saved in the file system of this mobile phone.
Then, as shown in accompanying drawing 1, read above-mentioned Delta bag, the corresponding program on the main flash (Nand Flash) 11 is upgraded.In Fig. 1, finished the program of upgrading after the above-mentioned renewal operation of Func A ' and processes such as the above-mentioned original program FuncA of Func B ' expression, Func B.
But, since can not be in above-mentioned main flash 11 executive program, need copy to run time version and carry out corresponding program in the main storage (RAM) afterwards by boot (Bootloader).Promptly, aforesaid main flash 11 flash memories such as NAND such as grade are the mass storages that can not directly move run time version on read-only memory, in the equipment that sort memory has been installed, after needs copy to all run time versions on the RAM, the corresponding program of operation in this RAM, and guarantee that the equipment of this operation is above-mentioned boot.
As previously discussed, the problem that exists in the technology of mobile phone firmware upgrade in the past is, because the firmware Delta bag of downloading from the communication common carrier upgrade server is saved in the flash memory,, make program be subjected to fatal damage easily if the situation that power supply is unstable or interrupt takes place.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide the firmware upgrade method that can prevent a kind of mobile phone of firmware upgrade mistake in the process of in flash memory, preserving firmware Delta bag.It is characterized in that, comprise the steps: it to be saved in the file system from upgrade server download and upgrade software; Be installed in each program copy in the main flash in main storage after, read above-mentioned upgrading software, to upgrade the corresponding program on this main storage.
Beneficial effect among the present invention is to have omitted firmware Delta bag is saved in process in the flash memory, and this process of substituting is exactly, every particular moment just reads the Delta bag from file system the corresponding program on the main storage is upgraded, at this moment, even if any problem takes place in renewal process, also can guarantee the integrality of original code, thereby, reached the effect that can effectively prevent the firmware upgrade mistake.

Embodiment
The invention provides a kind of firmware upgrade method of mobile phone.Can in flash memory, preserve in the process of firmware Delta bag and can prevent the firmware upgrade mistake.Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, to based on of the present invention preferable
Embodiment is elaborated.
Fig. 2 is the processing procedure signal flow graph of the firmware upgrade method of mobile phone among relevant the present invention, as shown in the figure, comprises the steps: step 1, from upgrade server download and upgrade software, it is kept in the file system; Step 2, by boot, be installed in each program copy in the main flash in main storage after, read above-mentioned upgrading software from above-mentioned file system, the corresponding program on this main storage is upgraded; Step 3 utilizes main program to move corresponding program on the above-mentioned main storage.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing 3, the firmware upgrade processing procedure is elaborated among the present invention who as above constitutes to having.
When the upgrade server of mobile operator when user's mobile phone has transmitted upgrading based on the FOTA solution with software (Delta Package), this software is saved in the file system of this mobile phone (step S1, S2).
Then, to particular moment (for example: energized) afterwards, as shown in Figure 3, each program (Func A-Func F) of being installed on the main flash (Nand Flash) 31 is copied in the main storage (RAM) 32 based on boot.(step S3)
After this, by FOTA upgrading Agent the end situation of the program copy operation of above-mentioned boot is confirmed, if judge that copy operation finishes, read the Delta bag from above-mentioned file system, corresponding program on the above-mentioned main storage 32 (for example: Func A, Func B) is upgraded.(step S4, S5)
By above process,, also can carry out update functions having omitted the operating procedure of the corresponding program on the main flash 31 being upgraded after reading above-mentioned Delta bag.Thus, even if any problem takes place, also can guarantee the integrality of original code in renewal process.
After this, system's control authority is imputed to main program, and from this very moment, based on this main program, operation is by the corresponding program of customer requirements in above-mentioned main storage 32.(step S6).
Claims (3)
1. the firmware upgrade method of a mobile phone is characterized in that, comprises the steps: step 1, from upgrade server download and upgrade software, it is saved in the file system; Step 2, be installed in each program copy in the main flash in main storage after, read above-mentioned upgrading software, to upgrade the corresponding program on this main storage.
2. according to the firmware upgrade method of a kind of mobile phone described in the claim 1, it is characterized in that main storage is made of random access memory RAM in step 2.
