Patent ID: 8627055

Claim:
A starting method of a World Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) terminal, comprising: S 202 , performing calculations for a load command and a firmware which are required to be loaded for starting the terminal in advance to obtain a first firmware Hash value and a first load command Hash value, and storing the first firmware Hash value and the first load command Hash value in a predefined memory of the terminal; S 204 , in response to a starting operation of the terminal, performing starting process and starting a boot loader; S 206 , the boot loader executing the load command transmitted by a driver of the terminal and downloading the firmware to the terminal; S 208 , the boot loader calculating a second firmware Hash value of the downloaded firmware and a second load command Hash value of the load command transmitted by the driver; S 210 , the boot loader judging whether the first firmware Hash value matches with the second firmware Hash value, and judging whether the first load command Hash value matches with the second load command Hash value, and permitting to start the terminal under the circumstances that the first firmware Hash value matches with the second firmware Hash value and the first load command Hash value matches with the second load command Hash value.
