Method and system for initializing RF module through non-volatile control

A system for initializing an RF module through non-volatile control comprising:

• a non-volatile storage array configured to store configuration information for initializing the RF module, and back up the configuration information when receiving a power-down instruction;
• and
• a reconfigurable RF module controller configured to read the configuration information from the non-volatile storage array when receiving a power-up instruction, and transmit the read configuration information to a front-end interface circuit, wherein the front-end interface circuit is configured to transmit the configuration information to the RF module based on a given communication protocol, thereby initializing the RF module,
• wherein the reconfigurable RF module controller comprises:
• a non-volatile FPGA configured to be programmed based on a type of a target RF module required to be initialized so that the front-end interface circuit used and the target RF module correspond to each other;
• and
• a non-volatile programming information memory configured to store the programming information for the non-volatile FPGA, back up the programming information when receiving the power-down instruction, and restore the programming information when receiving the power-up instruction.
