PQ TOOL REFERENCE

1. PQ Tool Connection

1.1. Connect And Write Parameters

  1. Click PQ tool

    Fig 1-1 PQ tool icon

  2. Disable serial port printing

    For connecting the tool and serial port, please disable serial port printing and disconnect it.

    Take Ikayaki series as an example: Enter 11111 in the serial port print window to stop the serial port printing information. Then disconnect.

  3. Chip select

    Select the chip type. Ikayaki select SsInfinity Series.

    Fig 1-2 Chip type options

  4. Tool config

    Fig 1-3 Config and connection

    First select chip series, and then click the icon to connect. If the icon is green, it is successful. If it prompts an error, please make sure that the serial port printing information is disabled and disconnected, and then try again.

    1. Read register value

    2. Switch to the corresponding band.

    3. Enter 0x101e in the box and press Enter.

    4. Click Read Bank.

    5. Check the register value on the right, all zeros or all ffs indicate that the tool is not connected correctly.

    6. The reference value is shown in Fig 1-5.

  5. Save the modified parameters to the board

    1. Open the QMAP table to page1920 .

    2. Click C-code generator to generate a folder named 1920 in the root directory, as shown in Figure 1-6.

    3. Write PQConfig.ini

      The format is as follows:

      [PQ_PATH]

default = "/config/PQ.bin"

    4. Pack this ini into the config partition, and put PQ.bin in the 1920 folder in the specified path of ini, which can be changed as required, and the path of PQConfig.ini should also be modified.
