Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for an Android device to use a WiFi module compatibly. The method comprises the steps of: A1. calling a power supply management interface function, and controlling a power supply management module to power on the WiFi module; A2. performing a communication with the WiFi module by means of an interface communication protocol, and acquiring a device identification number ID of the WiFi module; A3. analyzing the device identification number ID, and selecting a corresponding WiFi module drive program and a corresponding WiFi module firmware program according to analyzed WiFi module information; and A4. loading the WiFi module drive program in an Android system, and writing the WiFi module firmware program into a WiFi module memory. According to the method and the apparatus for the Android device to use the WiFi module compatibly, disclosed by the present invention, multiple WiFi modules can be supported without the need for modifying configuration, so that compatible use of different modules is implemented, and development and mass-production costs are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of the Android system, in particular to a method and a device for compatible use of a WiFi module by an Android device. Background technique [0002] There are many existing WiFi module manufacturers, such as Intel, Atheros, Broadcom, Realtek, etc. all have their own WiFi module products. Different WiFi modules have differences in hardware interface types, chip models and communication methods. For these differences The device needs to be configured accordingly to support the use of the WiFi module. Android devices (such as Android tablets, Android smartphones) need to re-modify the configuration when choosing a WiFi module, which greatly increases the work of product development. The quantity affects the efficiency of product development. Contents of the invention [0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method and device for compatible use of WiFi modules by A...
