Glossary

Algorithm code Flash programming algorithm code. This code runs in the target system and it

must support used Flash type and phone hw. The prommer box can contain
several algorithm codes; each code supports one or more different Flash
devices. E.g. u_intel.fia supports a number of Intel flash chips.

Application code Software which FPS-8 prommer box MCU runs.

Asic-Boot See Bootstrap code

Bootstrap code Code that resides in target hardware, usually in ASIC ROM or in MCU internal

ROM. Bootstrap code loads secondary bootstrap code into target RAM.

DCT3 Third generation Digital Core Technology.

DCT4 Fourth generation Digital Core Technology.

FLASH Nonvolatile electronically erasable memory. Both phone and prommer hw

have Flash memory (See prommer main board).

Random access memory, data is lost when power is lost. FPS-8
prommer box can have 64 MB of SRAM (See picture of FPS-8

1 Overview

FPS-8 is a programming device for DCT4 phones. When equipped with power
supply module ACS-10 it can also be used for programming latest DCT-3 phones.

Software for FPS-8 Prommer is delivered in one installation package file. When the new
installation package is installed to the control PC, the Phoenix (or WinTesla) updates the new files
to the FPS-8.

The PCSW controlling the FPS-8 is integrated in the Phoenix (DCT-4 phones) or
WinTesla (DCT-3 phones)

To be able to update the Prommer SW when using WinTesla, a separate prommer
support module (dll) must be installed.

FPS-8 can be equipped with extra memory modules to increase its memory
capacity.

NOTE!

When opening the prommer box or installing power / memory modules
all work Should be done in an ESD – safe environment!

4 FPS-8 Usage

For successful use of FPS-8 also pc sw is needed. All needed sw modules are supplied with the
Phoenix software (Official service software for DCT-4) and with WinTesla sw (official service
software for DCT3 phones).

4.1 SW Installations

Before anything can be done, some installations must be made:

1. Install latest Phoenix software

2. Install latest data package for the phone.

3. Install latest Flash update package.

In the following instructions it is assumed that all these steps are already made.

Flash update package flash_update_01_00_048a.exe and phone sw files nhm75503.010/
nhm75503.01a are used only as an example in the following instructions.

4.2 FPS-8 Activation

Before FPS-8 can be successfully used for phone programming, it must be first activated. Fill in first
“FPS-8 activation request” sheet, which came with FPS-8 sales package and follow the instructions in
the sheet.

When activation file is received (e.g. 71007.in), copy it to BoxActivation –subdirectory under the
Phoenix directory. Start BoxActivation.exe and follow the instructions in the screen.

NOTE! Phoenix should be closed before running BoxActivation.exe.
