Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a firmware upgrade method and device of zigbee equipment. The firmware upgrade method comprises the following steps: after an upgrade notice issued from a gateway is received, if a wireless upgrade condition is met, requesting to obtain new firmware information from the gateway; when a detection result shows that local firmware is matched with the new firmware information and is verified to be effective, sending a firmware update confirmation request to the gateway; and when a firmware update confirmation command issued from the gateway is received, loading the local firmware into an equipment processor, and operating the local firmware after the local firmware is verified to be effective to finish firmware upgrade. The firmware upgrade method and device provided by the invention can shorten time required by the zigbee equipment to carry out the firmware upgrade, and does not need a physical interface to carry out the firmware upgrade, and therefore, the firmware upgrade method and device has the advantages of being reliable and efficient, and lowers the firmware upgrade cost of the zigbee equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to a firmware upgrade technology, in particular to a firmware upgrade method and device for zigbee equipment. Background technique [0002] ZigBee (Zigbee protocol) is a low-power, low-speed, low-cost short-distance wireless communication technology. Devices that use zigbee technology for communication are called zigbee devices. [0003] In practical applications, when there is a firmware defect or function expansion in the zigbee device, the firmware of the zigbee device needs to be updated. The firmware update method of the existing ZigBee device is local firmware update, and the zigbee device can perform local firmware update through the programming interface, or Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) interface, or Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. [0004] Obviously, hardware interface or detachable shell can be reserved in the early stage of zigbee device design, so that the zigbee d...
