1. Purpose & Scope

The purpose of this document is to describe the guidelines and main

building blocks for the ASUS Hermon repair tool. The document describes the

calibration process required for repairing and measuring the phone

functionality. These calibration processes consist of a set of independent

calibration procedures, however we need to initialize the IFL (Intelligence

Framework Libraries) first before we use them.

The document will focus on the GSM system and introduce how to use the

repair tool for repairing and measuring the phone functionality. The outcome of

the calibration process is a set of parameters that shall be loaded two

databases on the PC and on the phone.

2. Hermon Repair Tool Hierarchy

DLL Module：(build with Visual C++)

Base on HMDSender.dll and reference Intel HTS 2.01 source code

Application Side：(create by C++ Builder)

User interface

Combine the export functions and test procedures

Show result and information

Hermon repair tool features the following capabilities：

Flexibility. (easy to add extended functions or create new method by

update DLL module)

Auto identifies USB connection between application tool and target

board.

Set and control UE in difference mode. (production mode/operational

mode)

GSM system – preliminary finish TX/RX debug functions.

Embedded other useful function in repair tool.

3. General Description

The Hermon software has two main states as shown in below.

There are two main operating modes,

Operational Mode

Default operating mode.

Normal operation of the system.

Production Mode (Calibration Mode)

Production mode is used mainly for calibration activities, thus no

call processing activities are required.

This mode can be entered only after reset (or wake-up).

This mode requires the system to disable the protocol stack that the

external control software (e.g. ICAT or Hermon Repair Tool) will

manage the system; it will communicate with the DIAG module.

4. System Block Diagram

Following are the main test procedures:

System wakeup

Test equipment initialization

Scenario initialization

Acquisition

Application Side：

Following figures are the scenario of operating guidelines. You can refer to the

main building blocks in the below too.

1. Start the program and power on the target then wait the device connection.

2. Update database

4. Fill out the data then press following button：turn off protocol

select band

mode

set calibration mode

5. Run the test scenario：

TX – Remember press STOP button when you finished TX.

RX – You can select LNA Control option before press START button.
