Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a multi-node firmware updating method. The embodiment of the invention further discloses a multi-node firmware updating device. The multi-node firmware updating method comprises the following steps of: analyzing an updating configuration file to determine and store corresponding relation between firmware under nodes for supporting the firmware to update in the nodes and a firmware updating file; and carrying out firmware updating on at least one of the nodes for supporting the firmware to update. A step of carrying out the firmware updating on at least one of the nodes for supporting the firmware to update comprises a sub step of carrying out the firmware updating on the corresponding firmware updating file according to the corresponding relation between the firmware under the nodes for supporting the firmware to update in the nodes and the firmware updating file. With the adoption of the multi-node firmware updating method and the multi-node firmware updating device provided by the invention, the multi-firmware sequential updating and the multi-node parallel updating can be realized. The multi-node firmware updating method and the multi-node firmware updating device provided by the invention are applicable to carrying out efficient firmware updating on a multi-platform, a multi-node or a multi-terminal system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of firmware upgrading, in particular to a multi-node firmware upgrading method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, various methods and devices for upgrading firmware have been proposed in the industry, such as: a method and device for upgrading embedded firmware based on segmentation, a method for upgrading device firmware based on a universal USB bus, and the like. On the whole, the existing firmware upgrade methods and devices are all used to upgrade a terminal device, and are not suitable for firmware upgrades of multi-platform, multi-node or multi-terminal systems (eg, fault-tolerant computer systems). [0003] For example, the patent application number CN200810218241.8 discloses a segment-based embedded firmware upgrade method and device. The method described in this patent includes: obtaining an upgrade data package for upgrading the firmware stored separately in the file system and applicatio...
