This is a manual test & it should be run outside HLK by following the manual instructions provided below. If this test is run as an automated test from HLK studio/controller, the test will pass by default without testing any functionality.

Manual instructions to run this test:

  1. Hardware Prerequisites
    1. Applicable to 8998 MTP hardware only
  2. Software Prerequisites
    1. Emmcdl.exe tool
  3. Setting up the Test
    1. Boot the device into Emergency Download mode (EDL)
      1. Either device has to have an empty EMMC (out of box or JTAG wiped)
      2. Or use jumper # 6 in S4 on debug board to force device into EDL mode
      3. Or enter EDL mode using UEFI menu at boot
      4. There will be no indication that the device is on (dark display)
  4. Running the test
    1. Attach the device to host PC using a regular USB cable. The device should enumerate as Qualcomm HS - USB QDLoader endpoint on a COM port
    2. From an administrative command prompt, run the following commands: emmcdl - p COMxx - f prog_ufs_firehose_8998_ddr.elf - memoryname ufs - x rawprogram0.xml emmcdl - p COMxx - f prog_ufs_firehose_8998_ddr.elf - memoryname ufs - x rawprogram1.xml emmcdl - p COMxx - f prog_ufs_firehose_8998_ddr.elf - memoryname ufs - x rawprogram2.xml emmcdl - p COMxx - f prog_ufs_firehose_8998_ddr.elf - memoryname ufs - x rawprogram3.xml emmcdl - p COMxx - f prog_ufs_firehose_8998_ddr.elf - memoryname ufs - x rawprogram4.xml emmcdl - p COMxx - f prog_ufs_firehose_8998_ddr.elf - memoryname ufs - x rawprogram5.xml
