chip of the intelligent household appliances comprises a memory area which is smaller than 100K. The memory area may include a boot area and a
firmware area. The program runs in the
firmware area. The method comprises the following steps of before the data of the
firmware area is erased to perform remote
upgrade on the firmware area, checking the latest version of the
upgrade data received by the BOOT area; before the data of the firmware area is erased to perform remote upgrade on the firmware area, when the
verification result is that the upgraded data is not abnormal, erasing the firmware area data and upating the firmware area through the upgraded data. In accordance with that embodiment, the
machine upgrade failure in the event of due to the abnormal or lost data downloaded by a communication module, the
machine cannot be used, is avoided, the
machine can maintainthe pre-upgrade version and is used normally, and the upgrade can be completed again, thereby improving the security and reliability of the upgrade process, reducing the probability of remote upgradefailure, and improving the user experience.
