  • Publication number: 20130275956
    Abstract: A firmware upgrade method is applied to a terminal device in a subnet. A first terminal device in the subnet downloads a firmware upgrade file from a remote server and broadcasts a first packet to at least a second terminal device in the subnet. The second terminal device in the subnet sends an upgrade request to the first terminal device when the received first packet includes the latest firmware version and upgrade time. The first terminal device then transmits the firmware upgrade file to the second terminal device in the subnet according to a header field and an IP header field of the first packet. The second terminal device retrieves the firmware upgrade file. Each of the first and second terminal devices executes the firmware upgrade file to complete the firmware upgrade.
