7.1 Mass Production Tool
There are four tools for mass production:
- isUpdate.exe – to merge UI, DSP
and Flash code to
*.hex
file. - Mass Production Script Editor
(MPSE) – to integrate the test condition and calibration level of test item to
*.msf
file for the Mass Production Board Level Test (MPBT) tool. Test items include RF and PMU. - The Flash downloads hex file for Mass Production Multi-Flash (MPMF) tool is also merged by MPSE tool.
- Mass Production Board Level Test (MPBT) – to define the test environment and perform MP test.
- Mass Production Multi-Flash
(MPMF) – to perform EEPROM and Flash download on multi-site.Note: isUpdate tool is not included in the MP tool release package.
The following figure describes the MP tool execution flow:
- Use isUpdate tool to merge GUI, DSP and Flash code to hex file.
- Use MPSE tool to edit script file
(
*.msf
) by defining the test condition, calibration level for MPBT tool and merge the Flash hex file for MPMF tool. - In production line, the MPMF tool
and the test fixture include the dedicated
*.msf
file for Flash download. - MPBT tool and the test fixture include the dedicated
*.msf
file for MP test.
Note: The Flash code may be released by
Microchip’s dedicated turnkey application code, or customer’s code generated by the SDK
tool.
