Q
1.
Can I combine multiple profile instances and save to one EEPROM .hex file? For example, if I have two profiles open to
control two different repeaters, is there a way to save both settings into one EEPROM file with SigCon Architect?
- No. You can only combine multiple slot register settings within one profile. Each slot’s register settings must
be programmed within one profile. One solution is to save a .cfg of the desired settings for each device, and
then load them individually onto one profile to generate the appropriate EEPROM file, as demonstrated in
the previous example.
2.
If I have multiple devices that share the same register settings, can I specify that the correct number of devices in “No
of Device” and then leave all slots as “Slot 0”? For example, if I have 12 devices, all with the same register settings, do I
can I just leave all Slot # as 0?
- Yes. If all device settings are identical, they can all be Slot 0. However, note that there is a maximum
number of devices allowed for each EEPROM size.
3.
Is there a way to read a .hex file and load EEPROM data from a particular slot to a live device?
- Yes. Follow the directions below:
1. On the EEPROM page, click “Load From Hex File”. Select the desired .hex file to load.
2. In the “Slot Update Details” box, select the “Slot #” you wish to load into a live device.
3. Click “Update Device from Slot” to load the Slot # EEPROM data into live device. Changes can be
observed in the High Level Repeater Page and Low Level Page.
4.
If I overwrite a file, is there a way of maintain version control?
- Yes. On the second-to-last line of the .hex file, the last 4 digits before the 8-bit checksum are reserved to
indicate the
Version number. After each overwrite, SigCon Architect will automatically increment the version
number of the .hex file when you overwrite an existing file of the same name.

This document discusses the performance requirements for URLLC UEs with higher BLER, as presented by Intel Corporation during the 3GPP TSG-RAN WG4 Meeting #97-e. It covers parameters agreed upon in previous meetings, including SCS/CBW, PDSCH configuration, HARQ processes, MCS values, and antenna configurations for FR1 and FR2 scenarios. The focus is on achieving high reliability in wireless communication systems, with detailed specifications on HARQ transmission, slot configurations, and target BLER levels. The document outlines the specifics of FR1 and FR2 in terms of frequency, bandwidth, scheduling, and channel models to meet the stringent reliability needs of URLLC applications.

EEPROM Hex File Generation with SigCon Architect SVA Datapath Solutions Nov. 2014 1
Objective Generate a custom Intel-format Hex file with SigCon Architect, regardless of whether a live device is attached or in simulation mode. Refer to Understanding EEPROM Programming for High Speed Repeaters and Mux Buffers for EEPROM fundamentals. Required Software SigCon Architect USB2ANY Module with Firmware later than v2.6.1 2 2
Step-by-Step Guide Set Up SigCon Architect and Device: Load the correct device profile (or similar) and determine the register settings required for each device (up to 16 unique device settings can be programmed). Preset the Slot Selection Table: Instantiate EEPROM page for the desired number of unique slots and devices. Determine EEPROM Base Header Information: Check address map header, CRC, and >256 Bytes where necessary. Load Register Settings for Each Device Slot: Using the same profile instance, update each slot with correct device settings. Verify Settings: Check via the Major Channel Settings slot table and the Live Update Address-EEPROM Data table. Write EEPROM .hex File: Save all information to .hex file. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

EEPROM .Hex File Generation FAQ 1. Can I combine multiple profile instances and save to one EEPROM .hex file? For example, if I have two profiles open to control two different repeaters, is there a way to save both settings into one EEPROM file with SigCon Architect? - No. You can only combine multiple slot register settings within one profile. Each slot s register settings must be programmed within one profile. One solution is to save a .cfg of the desired settings for each device, and then load them individually onto one profile to generate the appropriate EEPROM file, as demonstrated in the previous example. 2. If I have multiple devices that share the same register settings, can I specify that the correct number of devices in No of Device and then leave all slots as Slot 0 ? For example, if I have 12 devices, all with the same register settings, do I can I just leave all Slot # as 0? - Yes. If all device settings are identical, they can all be Slot 0. However, note that there is a maximum number of devices allowed for each EEPROM size. 3. Is there a way to read a .hex file and load EEPROM data from a particular slot to a live device? - Yes. Follow the directions below: 1. On the EEPROM page, click Load From Hex File . Select the desired .hex file to load. 2. In the Slot Update Details box, select the Slot # you wish to load into a live device. 3. Click Update Device from Slot to load the Slot # EEPROM data into live device. Changes can be observed in the High Level Repeater Page and Low Level Page. 4. If I overwrite a file, is there a way of maintain version control? - Yes. On the second-to-last line of the .hex file, the last 4 digits before the 8-bit checksum are reserved to indicate the Version number. After each overwrite, SigCon Architect will automatically increment the version number of the .hex file when you overwrite an existing file of the same name. 19
