Background
Currently, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) modules and Bluetooth (BLE) modules are configured simultaneously in the intelligent gateway device provided in the related art. In order for the intelligent gateway device to function properly, the Wi-Fi module and BLE module configured in the intelligent gateway device need to implement version matching. For example: the intelligent gateway device can work normally only when the Firmware (FW) version of the Wi-Fi module configured in the intelligent gateway device is version 1 and the Firmware version of the BLE module configured in the intelligent gateway device is version 2. Because Wi-Fi module can communicate with the cloud server, therefore, the Wi-Fi module can update the firmware version in time. However, the BLE module cannot directly communicate with the cloud server, and therefore, the BLE module cannot update the firmware version in time. Therefore, the Wi-Fi module and the BLE module are easy to generate mismatching of firmware versions, and the intelligent gateway equipment cannot work normally. For example: the intelligent gateway device can work normally only when the firmware version of the Wi-Fi module configured in the intelligent gateway device is version 1 and the firmware version of the BLE module configured in the intelligent gateway device is version 2. However, if the Wi-Fi module is communicated with the cloud server, the firmware version is upgraded to the version 3 independently, but the BLE module cannot be directly communicated with the cloud server, so that the firmware version is still the version 2, at this time, mismatching of the firmware versions of the Wi-Fi module and the BLE module easily occurs, and the intelligent gateway device cannot work normally.

The first communication module may be a Wi-Fi module, and the second communication module may be a BLE module. The intelligent gateway device can be gateway device with gateway function only, or other intelligent devices with additional gateway function based on initial service function to realize gateway generalization. The generalization of the gateway refers to embedding a module with gateway functions into any intelligent device capable of supplying power normally, so that the intelligent device is newly added with gateway functions based on the original functions. Taking an intelligent bulb lamp as an example, an initial service function is to provide a lighting function, and a gateway module is added to the intelligent bulb lamp so that the intelligent bulb lamp becomes gateway equipment.
It should be noted that, the gateway module can be inserted into the intelligent gateway device through the peripheral interface of the intelligent device, or the gateway module can be embedded into the intelligent gateway device in advance in the production process of the intelligent device.
Optionally, in step S24, the performing the matched update on the first firmware and the second firmware with the firmware information to be updated may include the following performing steps:

The third portion of information includes data to be updated (i.e., BLE FW update data) corresponding to the second firmware.
In an alternative embodiment, the intelligent gateway device may obtain update guide information from the firmware information to be updated, so as to obtain firmware version information and firmware size information of the Wi-Fi module, which need to be updated in a matched manner, and firmware version information and firmware size information of the BLE module. For example: the firmware Version information of the Wi-Fi module is V0.1.1, the firmware Size information is 898256KB, and the firmware Version information of the BLE module is V0.1.1, and the firmware Size information is 110848KB.

optionally, in step S20, the burning device authentication information in the smart bulb lamp includes one of the following ways:
the first mode is that equipment authentication information is burnt in the intelligent bulb lamp through a serial port instruction;
the device authentication information can be burnt in the intelligent bulb lamp through the serial port instruction. For example:
serial port instruction 1 (linkkey 1) 3808464a1EGL47QzMN n5BmQruIExjSdUYj;
Serial port instruction 2 (linkkey 2) is dTVdBg08K0ZQtjt3dNDCOcNB7xbuVsGA test_01;
and serial port instructions need to be sequentially sent, namely, linkkey1 is sent first, and then linkkey2 is sent, so that the five-tuple information is burnt in the intelligent bulb lamp.
And secondly, burning equipment authentication information in the intelligent bulb lamp through the operation code.
If the intelligent bulb lamp cannot burn the equipment authentication information through the serial port instruction, the five-tuple information can be burnt to the intelligent bulb lamp through an operation code (opcode) on the mobile terminal. Specifically, first five-tuple information can be filled into a tool input box by running a string-to-hexadecimal (hex) tool on the mobile terminal in the following format, with spaces as separators. Secondly, adding the intelligent bulb lamp into a mesh network by using nrf mesh, and establishing a binding relation between an app key and a vendor model. Then, entering a vendor model setting interface on the mobile terminal, and inputting an opcode and converted five-tuple hex data. Finally, if the setting is successful, the intelligent bulb lamp returns five-tuple information to the vendor model setting interface. When the five-tuple information is checked without any error, the five-tuple information is successfully burnt to the intelligent bulb lamp.
