Abstract

The application provides a firmware upgrading method, a device, equipment and a readable storage medium, wherein the method comprises the following steps: after receiving the firmware upgrading information, the relay device copies the firmware upgrading information and then sends the firmware upgrading information to the plurality of network access devices in parallel so as to upgrade the firmware of the plurality of network access devices. The network access equipment is not required to be controlled to be upgraded among the network control equipment, the problems of bandwidth consumption, long upgrading time and the like caused by the fact that the network control equipment sends a firmware upgrading message to each network access equipment are avoided, and the firmware upgrading efficiency is improved. In addition, the firmware upgrade information is uploaded to the local CPU to perform retransmission using the firmware upgrade information in the CPU when the upgrade fails. Therefore, the network control equipment is not required to repeatedly send the firmware upgrading information, and the firmware upgrading efficiency is further improved.
