[0024] The embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.
[0025] It should be understood that although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. may be used in this application to describe various information, this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0026] Unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, or a detachable connection or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0027] At present, static electricity is an objective natural phenomenon, which is generated in many ways, such as contact, friction, induction, etc. Therefore, in order to prevent static electricity from damaging the WIFI module, it is necessary to perform static electricity testing on the WIFI module. However, when performing static electricity testing on the WIFI module, the PIN pin of the module is first released with high voltage using an electrostatic gun; then the probe of the oscilloscope is clamped on the PIN pin of the WIFI module, but because the PIN pin is small, the operation is difficult, and the measurement data of the oscilloscope needs to be recorded manually, and the process is very cumbersome. In addition, for some special PIN pins, it is necessary to test whether the RF performance of the WIFI module is normal. At this time, the module and the RE test instrument are connected to the RF line, and the module is operated with manual tools to transmit the RF signal. The data is checked by manually operating the RE test instrument to observe whether the RF performance is normal. The entire operation process is cumbersome and inefficient.
[0028] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a method and system for testing a WIFI module based on an ARM development board, which can improve the testing efficiency of the WIFI module and make the testing process more automated.
[0029] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] See also Figure 1 , a method for testing a WIFI module based on an ARM development board, comprising:
[0031] Step S101: Lead out the pins of the WIFI module to form a first pin to be tested and a second pin to be tested.
[0032] It should be noted that, by setting a test base plate, the pins of the WIFI module are led out, and then the WIFI module is placed on the test base plate, wherein the first pin to be tested is a common PIN pin, and the second pin to be tested is an RF PIN pin.
[0033] Step S102: After the ARM development board is connected to the Internet, it communicates with the terminal.
[0034] It should be noted that the ARM development board is powered by a battery, then connects to the router and finally communicates with the terminal via TCP.
[0035] Step S103: After the oscilloscope communicates with the terminal, the oscilloscope collects information on the first pin to be tested and outputs test data to the terminal.
[0036] It should be noted that before the oscilloscope communicates with the terminal, an electrostatic gun is used to discharge the first pin to be tested. Then information is collected from the first pin to be tested. Finally, the generated test data is sent to the terminal.
[0037] Step S104: The ARM development board collects index data of the second pin to be tested, and sends the index data to the terminal.
[0038] It should be noted that before the ARM development board collects the index data of the second pin to be tested, the second pin to be tested will also be subjected to electrostatic discharge treatment using an electrostatic gun. Then the index data of the second pin to be tested will be collected, and finally the index data will be sent to the terminal. Among them, the index data here includes the RF performance of the pin.
[0039] Step S105: The terminal outputs a test information table according to the test data and indicator data.
[0040] It should be noted that the terminal will receive the test data and indicator data and finally output a test information table. The operator can directly view the information table to confirm the performance of the pin.
[0041] Figure 2 A more detailed implementation of a method for testing a WIFI module based on an ARM development board. Specifically, a method for testing a WIFI module based on an ARM development board includes the following steps:
[0042] Step S201: Connect the pins of the WIFI module using pins to expose the pins, thereby forming a first pin to be tested and a second pin to be tested.
[0043] It should be noted that by setting up a test baseboard, the pins of the WIFI module are brought out, and then pins are inserted into the pins to facilitate the oscilloscope to clamp the pins, thereby reducing the time for operation alignment and improving work efficiency.
[0044] Step S202: After the ARM development board is connected to the router module wirelessly, it is connected to the terminal via a network cable.
[0045] It should be noted that the ARM development board usually communicates with the router wirelessly and then connects to the terminal via a network cable, wherein the ARM development board acts as a server and the terminal acts as a client.
[0046] Step S203, the oscilloscope communicates with the terminal, and the oscilloscope receives a first instruction sent by the terminal, so that the oscilloscope collects information on the first pin to be tested and outputs test data;
[0047] The oscilloscope generates a second instruction according to the test data, so as to send the test data to the terminal.
[0048] It should be noted that after the static gun has finished applying static electricity, the oscilloscope receives the first instruction sent by the terminal via TCP. The first instruction here is a start instruction, so that the oscilloscope collects information from the first pin to be tested. After the collection is completed, the oscilloscope generates a second instruction based on the test data. The second instruction here is usually a feedback instruction to drive the test data to be sent to the terminal for storage. Then the next pin is tested.
[0049] Step S204, the terminal sends a third instruction to the ARM development board, and the ARM development board controls the WIFI module to communicate and interact with the router module according to the third instruction, outputs the index data of the second pin to be tested, and sends the index data to the terminal.
[0050] It should be noted that the terminal sends the third instruction to the ARM development board, where the third instruction refers to the startup instruction, so that the ARM development board controls the WIFI module to communicate and interact with the router module according to the third instruction, and reads the reading signal strength index data of the WIFI module. After the ARM development board reads the reading signal strength index data of the WIFI module, it will return the data to the terminal. Then the next pin test is carried out.
[0051] Step S205: The terminal outputs a test information table according to the test data and indicator data.
[0052] It can be understood that the terminal integrates the test data and indicator data and outputs a test information table to facilitate the operator's analysis and viewing.
[0053] This application can directly complete the test of the WIFI module through the ARM development board, oscilloscope, terminal and router. Furthermore, this application leads out the pins of the WIFI module, so that it is convenient for the oscilloscope to clamp the pins and for the electrostatic gun to discharge the pins, simplifying the process; further, this application uses the ARM development board to connect the router to detect the networking function of the WIFI module, instead of manually controlling the RF instrument to detect the RF performance, thereby realizing automated testing and improving efficiency.

[0055] In one embodiment, the networking module 200 is also used to connect the ARM development board to the router module wirelessly and then to the terminal via a network cable.
[0056] In one embodiment, the first acquisition module 300 is also used to communicate the oscilloscope with the terminal. The oscilloscope receives a first instruction sent by the terminal so that the oscilloscope collects information on the first pin to be tested and outputs test data; the oscilloscope generates a second instruction based on the test data to send the test data to the terminal.
[0057] In one embodiment, the second acquisition module 400 is also used for the terminal to send a third instruction to the ARM development board. The ARM development board controls the WIFI module and the router module to communicate and interact according to the third instruction, outputs the index data of the second pin to be tested, and sends the index data to the terminal.
[0058] In one embodiment, the adjustment module 100 is further used to connect the pins of the WIFI module using pins so that the pins are exposed.
