 Introduction

WISMOQ CDMA module software is designed to provide CDMA2000 1X features for customers to build applications on top of our one module wireless solution for CDMA networks. 
The WISMOQ Q23x8 module uses the Qualcomm CDMA MSM5105 chip set and wavecom hardware compact design solutions. The software includes the Qualcomm MSM core software release with merging Wavecom software AT commands, features, and other customer specific features. 


 Software load definition

SW load when releasing is provided in the “hex” format. The name of the hex file is defined as following:

·         SURFTE.HEX == Dual band: CDMA PCS 1900 MHz + 800 MHz          
·         SURFCRE.HEX == CDMA 800 MHz with RUIM (SIM card)
·         SURFSPT.HEX == Dual band: Sprint customer load

2. Software naming convention

Depending on our project and product, the software release will keep a common naming convention, which should cover both formal load and weekly load.

Currently, our SW load naming convention is also be used as the label naming convention. To keep readable by Qualcomm tools, the naming format will be limited to 8 characters/digits.

2.1 For formal release

The formal release SW version naming convention format is:
PPn.mmEj
Where:
PP: acronym of a product name; e.g. WQ – Q23x8 CDMA5105 products
n: major number of release, 0-9; e.g. 1
mm: minor number of release, 00-99; e.g. 08
E: special edition; see 1.2.2 for definition
j: single digit, for patch load, from 1 to 5
So
WQ2.0G2 means the software of WismoQuik general release 2.0 with the second service patch for Q2338 product.
WQ2.0R means the software of WismoQuik release 2.0 for RUIM module Q2358.

 Special edition load


In the format “PPn.mmEj”, the “E” is used as for the customization load edition.
The following table shows possible “E”s, but not limited to:

Possible “E” DefinitionExample 
G General release; could be dual band or tri-mode depending on “PP” WQ2.0G: Q2338 dual band 
RRUIM build, single band 800 MHz WQ1.15R Q2358 RUIM 
SSprint specific customer load WQ2.0S2 
VVerizon specific customer load WQ2.01V 
TCustomer T specific customer load WQ1.12T1 
C CDG testing load
WQ1.13C1

Software release features

 Build Description

This is the WismoQ (Product Q23x8) CDMA 2000 1xRTT software release WQ2.0, based on the previous build of WQ1.14A. The load is a formal release for all customers.

 Special Notes

The software release file e.g. SURFCRE.HEX consists of two parts:
· The boot block software
· The application software
The boot block software can be loaded to the module independently through JTAG or a device programmer. Once the boot block software is loaded, user can use wavecom downloader to communicate to the module and load the application software. The wavecom server based the downloader is able to automatically detect that if the module needs to upgrade with the new boot block and the application software.
For this release, the boot block SW is updated, so when upgrading the module to the new SW 2.0, user MUST include the boot block when downloading the SW.
To update to the new WQ2.0 software, at least the Wavecom downloader version 2.03 needs to be used

6. Add key pad scan
7. Add 5 second RUIM card pulling ( for RUIM build WQ2.0R only)
8. Add Sprint carrier features ( for Sprint carrier build WQ2.0S only)
9. Add boot block version auto detect
10. Add 10 melody ringers
11. Better TTY support
12. More AT commands when there is no SIM card. (for WQ2.0R only)
13. Reject baud rate settings equal or under 75
