Problems solved by technology

This is not conducive to upgrading and saving costs and resources
[0005] In addition, due to the constraints of various chip solutions, the existing upgrade methods cannot achieve cross-platform. Each manufacturer must apply an upgrade method that meets its own chip solutions, which greatly reduces the flexibility and freedom of upgrades.

Embodiment Construction

[0053]The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0054] The upgrading principle of the set-top box upgrading method of the present invention is described here.

[0055] The software part of the embedded system mainly includes BootLoader, kernel and file system. BootLoader is the first piece of software code that runs when the hardware system is powered on. However, since embedded systems generally do not have firmware like the BIOS in personal computers (Personal Computers, PCs), the loading process of the entire ...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a software upgrading method for a set-top box and the set-top box. The method comprises the following steps of: detecting and acquiring upgrading triggering information; judging whether a manufacturer code, a hardware version, a software type and a software version in the upgrading triggering information are consistent with own corresponding information of the set-top box or not; if the manufacturer code, the hardware version, the software type and the software version in the upgrading triggering information are judged to be consistent with own corresponding information of the set-top box, downloading upgrading data corresponding to the software version; and updating own software of the set-top box according to the upgrading data. The embodiment of the invention ensures the upgrading reliability and stability in a plurality of ways, can save the cost and unify conventional front-end and terminal application to free the software upgrading of the set-top box from the limitations of various chip schemes, realize cross-platform upgrading and enable any set-top box manufacturer and any front-end radio and television operator to use the software upgrading method, and improves the software upgrading flexibility and freedom degree of the set-top box.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of digital television, in particular to a method for upgrading software of a set-top box and the set-top box. Background technique [0002] With the in-depth development of digital technology and the popularization of digitalization, the digital development of radio and television has become an inevitable trend, and it is also an inevitable choice for the development of cable TV. Digital TV receivers (set-top boxes) are currently the mainstream mode of digital translation. With the development of the overall translation of the set-top box, the software functions of the set-top box are increasingly enhanced, and software upgrades and changes have become inevitable. Each operator must pursue regional characteristics, and there are differences in functions and applications. The needs of each market are individually customized. Therefore, for set-top box manufacturers, each market must redesign a set of systems,...
