Abstract:
A first communication device may be configured to receive firmware information sent from a second communication device. The firmware information may include version information of a second firmware that the second communication device has. The first communication device may be configured to send a firmware request to the second communication device in a first case where the version information of the second firmware is newer than version information of a first firmware currently stored in the storing unit. The first communication device may be configured to receive the second firmware sent from the second communication device in response to the firmware request. The first communication device may be configured to update the first firmware currently stored to the second firmware.
