Abstract: The present invention provides a firmware upgrade method and a firmware upgrade device thereof for an embedded combination apparatus. A main device is first connected to a computer for firmware upgrade, and then a firmware version of a slave device is checked to determine whether to match a firmware version of the main device. If they match, the slave device does not need to be upgraded. If any slave device has a mismatched firmware version, the main device sends an upgrade command and data of a matching firmware version to the slave device individually. The slave device receives a corresponding firmware upgrade package for firmware upgrade. The firmware upgrade method of the present invention complete a firmware upgrade process of the embedded combination apparatus without detaching the main device from the slave device, which is convenient and fast with a lower error rate.
