7) starting a second bootstrap program, loading a configuration file, detecting whether the function of the WIFI equipment is normal or not by the WIFI module firmware, if the function of the WIFI equipment is abnormal, executing the step 8), and if the function of the WIFI equipment is normal, skipping to execute the step 10);
8) the WIFI module firmware feeds back the function abnormity information of the WIFI equipment to the server, the server loads corresponding repair firmware, and a downloading instruction is sent to the WIFI module firmware;
9) the WIFI module firmware downloads the repair firmware according to the service instruction, after the repair firmware is downloaded, the firmware mark of the WIFI module firmware is set as the repair firmware, a connection instruction is sent to the server, and the step 6 is skipped;
10) and if the function of the WIFI equipment runs normally, setting a firmware mark of the firmware of the WIFI module as formal firmware.
The firmware mark is used for marking the state result of the WIFI module firmware after testing and/or repairing.
In the step 3), the burning of the WIFI module firmware into the WIFI module refers to burning into an external Flash in the WIFI module.
In the step 4), starting the first bootstrap program means that the WIFI module moves the firmware of the WIFI module from the external Flash to the processor.
In the step 5), before the WIFI module firmware sends the connection instruction to the remote server, a firmware flag for checking the WIFI module firmware is further included, and when the firmware flag is a test firmware, the connection instruction is sent to the remote server.
The configuration file comprises calibration parameters of the WIFI equipment and is used for detecting whether parameters of all components meet standards. The configuration file can be expanded according to WIFI equipment matched with the configuration file produced by each manufacturer.
The beneficial effects of the invention are mainly as follows: compared with the prior art, the original test firmware and formal firmware are combined into one firmware, burning times are reduced, meanwhile, due to the fact that WIFI equipment is directly electrified and networked and a server is matched, remote large-scale batch burning can be conducted, firmware coverage is executed in batches, and working efficiency is improved.
