Device Firmware Flashing Procedure Using Qualcomm QFIL Tool

Connecting and Setting Up Your Interface

1. Plug in the HDMI Cable: Connect an HDMI cable between the monitor and interface 5 (HDMI_OUT).
2. Power On: Press the Power On button for 3 seconds until a green LED light flashes. Ensure that you plug in the HDMI cable before powering on the device.
3. Verify Display: You should see the image on the monitor. Once the HDMI output display is normal, you can unplug and reinsert the HDMI cable, and it should still display correctly.
4. Connect Peripherals: Connect the mouse and keyboard to ports 4 or 6 (USB 3.0). The following icon “Weston-terminal” should appear on the screen.
5. Access the Command Line Interface: Click on the Weston-terminal icon in the upper left corner of the screen to open the command line interface.
6. Enter Commands: Use the command line interface to enter commands and access the system.
7. Additional Connectivity: You can also connect port 13 (USB Type-C) to your PC using a USB cable. If your PC has an ADB environment installed, you can enter commands on your PC to access the system.
