Abstract

The invention relates to a system for updating firmware from a long distance and a method thereof, and aims to provide an updating operation that a remote computer controls a local computer to execute the firmware through a network communication system, and firmware updating file data is memorized in the remote computer. The invention provides a firmware updating execution command which is input by the remote computer through a trigger module; the remote computer transfers the input firmware updating execution command and the firmware updating file data to the local computer through the network communication system; the local computer responds to the firmware updating execution command transferred by the trigger module through a control module, so as to receive the firmware updating file data transferred by the remote computer; in this way, the local computer is controlled to execute corresponding firmware updating operation, thereby providing a simple, convenient and safe firmware updating method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a firmware update technology, more specifically, to a system and method for remotely updating firmware applied in a network communication system. Background technique [0002] In today's various computer application equipment, the operation of many hardware is started and executed by firmware (Firmware), such as CD-ROM drive, modem, etc., and the storage device of firmware has gradually improved from the device that cannot be updated in the early stage to the device that can be updated. Devices, such as non-volatile memory such as flash read-only memory (hereinafter referred to as Flash ROM) and electrically erasable read-only memory (EEPROM). Therefore, the firmware update operation has also changed from the early days to sending the device back to the original factory The method of performing firmware update gradually changes to a method in which users can download the update program through the network system to perf...
