A firmware update application installing method for installing a firmware update application to a mobile device is implemented in an embedded device. The embedded device stores a plurality of the firmware update applications and a distinguishing program. The firmware update applications conform to a plurality of file formats, respectively, and an operating system of the mobile device corresponds to one of the file formats. The firmware update application installing method includes performing a device connecting step for connecting the embedded device to the mobile device, an application selecting step for configuring the distinguishing program to select one of the firmware update applications that conforms to the one of the file formats according to the operating system, and an application installing step for transmitting the selected one of the firmware update applications from the embedded device to the mobile device for installation.

Firmware update application installing method and embedded device thereof

A firmware updating method and a firmware updating system are provided. A host can individually transmit firmware update files to a terminal device, and the host checks by an algorithm whether each of the firmware update files needs to be compressed before each of the firmware update files is transmitted. For the firmware update file that needs to be compressed, the host uses a compression algorithm to reduce a file size of the firmware update file.
