The system includes a firmware storage module having first firmware and second firmware. The first and second firmware each have image header file data, including a cyclic redundancy checksum (CRC) and an image header file creation time. The method of updating firmware includes determining whether the first and second firmware have an abnormality according to the CRC information. When an abnormality is present in the first or second firmware, the abnormality-stricken firmware is replaced with new firmware. When the abnormality is absent from the first and second firmware, the first firmware is compared with the second firmware in terms of the image header file creation time such that the firmware with the earlier creation time is replaced by the new firmware. Operable firmware is available even if the firmware updating operation fails.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2009Publication date: July 1, 2010Applicant: ASKEY COMPUTER CORPORATIONInventors: Yi-Tung Chiu, Ching-Feng Hsieh, Jen-Huan Yu
