In step S110, the power-on power is obtained to enable the system platform to be powered on. The above power-on power source is, for example, AC power, where the system platform can be used to control the power supply to determine whether to provide power to the system platform. In step S12G +, the Lang code on the expansion card is read, and then in step S130, the read identification code is compared with the code to verify that the identification shirt is correct. If the identification code is correct, the shipman steps si5〇; if the identification code is incorrect, the process proceeds to step S14, the verification failure information is output, and the test flow is ended. In step S15G, the number of verifications of the verification identification code is accumulated and stored. If the number of steps is the number of times of the social __, determine whether you need to verify the identification code in the expansion card again when you turn the phone down. (10) Connect Ι, enter the S16G, the number of verifications is different, preset: the number of right-right verification reaches the preset value, and the stability of the red object (four) is 8 v 28228twf.doc/n 201011529. If the number of verifications of the identification code is less than the preset value, the test process will be repeated. In step S180, the system platform is first turned off for a preset time, then returns to step S110, rebooted and the verification code is re-tested. In addition, it is worth noting that the preset value set in step S160 mainly reflects the number of tests of the SiS platform, which can be set to 1 time, 100 times or 500 times according to the model and design requirements, or Any number you want to test can be determined by the degree of stability that the setter wants to test. In step S180, the preset time for the system platform to maintain the shutdown state may be determined according to design requirements, for example, 1 minute or two minutes, and of course, the preset time may be set to zero, that is, after the shutdown is completed, then the system is restarted. Turning on 'this embodiment is not limited. In this embodiment, the power-on two shutdown actions described in the above steps suo and S180 can be automatically controlled by the system platform, for example, the power supply II is directly controlled by the system σ, and the power supply, power supply is required when the power is turned off ( Such as AC power) 'When the power is turned on, the power supply is turned back on = power. In other words, the secret platform can be shut down and booted by itself (4) its power-on power on.
