00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:02,700

In this lesson, we are gonna talk about the fonts

2

00:00:02,966 --> 00:00:07,100

In the circuit diagram we see eMMC or eMCP,

3

00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:10,166

and some UFS for mid-to-high-end machines

4

00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:14,233

These codes on the drawings actually refer to the hard disk circuits

5

00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,100

We say that ROM is equivalent to the hard disk of a computer

6

00:00:18,966 --> 00:00:21,966

ROM was called read-only memory in the early days

7

00:00:22,166 --> 00:00:25,766

With the development of technology, it can also write data

8

00:00:25,933 --> 00:00:29,466

ROM is abbreviated as the font library on Android phones,

9

00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:32,333

usually called the hard disk font library,

10

00:00:32,633 --> 00:00:35,966

which stores the bottom-level data of the mobile phone,

11

00:00:36,033 --> 00:00:39,333

such as boot programs, system programs,

12

00:00:39,566 --> 00:00:41,833

user data, and baseband data

13

00:00:42,133 --> 00:00:46,600

For example, the one selected in the box on the right is SEC,

14

00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,966

which is Samsung's font library

15

00:00:49,766 --> 00:00:53,166

There are problems with these boot programs in the font library,

16

00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,733

which generally cause the machine to fail to boot,

17

00:00:56,966 --> 00:00:59,433

and directly enter the COM port mode

18

00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:02,333

It needs to be divided into platforms

19

00:01:02,533 --> 00:01:06,966

Mobile phones using Qualcomm platform enter the 9008 port,

20

00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:11,566

MediaTek's port mode is called MediaTek USB Port

21

00:01:11,933 --> 00:01:16,500

HiSilicon's port mode is called HUAWEI USB COM 1.0

22

00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:23,900

That is to say, there is a problem with the font library of these three platforms,

23

00:01:24,066 --> 00:01:27,833

or there is a problem with the boot program in the font library,

24

00:01:28,166 --> 00:01:30,266

sometimes it will enter this state

25

00:01:31,333 --> 00:01:33,300

But if we want to see this state,

26

00:01:33,566 --> 00:01:38,766

we must plug the mobile phone into the laptop or desktop computer through the data cable,

27

00:01:39,933 --> 00:01:43,900

and it will automatically appear in the computer management device manager

28

00:01:44,166 --> 00:01:47,466

You can see that it will jump out of a corresponding port mode

29

00:01:48,533 --> 00:01:52,533

System program problems sometimes also cause the stuck LOGO,

30

00:01:52,933 --> 00:01:55,500

unable to enter the operation interface

31

00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,233

Let's take a look at what a stuck logo is

32

00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:02,866

This is Huawei's mobile phone,

33

00:02:04,166 --> 00:02:07,766

then it stays on the Huawei logo when it is turned on,

34

00:02:08,033 --> 00:02:10,566

and cannot enter the operation interface

35

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,500

We call this phenomenon the stuck LOGO

36

00:02:13,833 --> 00:02:18,000

Problems with user data will lead to the loss of customer's data

37

00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,133

and the inability to enter the operation interface

38

00:02:21,833 --> 00:02:25,866

Problems with baseband data will result in no baseband,

39

00:02:26,066 --> 00:02:30,500

no card recognition, no serial number, and no network

40

00:02:30,833 --> 00:02:34,200

We can read and write the font library through the test stand

41

00:02:34,533 --> 00:02:35,466

To sum up,

42

00:02:35,733 --> 00:02:39,900

these are some failures caused by the boot program in the font library,

43

00:02:40,266 --> 00:02:43,966

the system program, user data, and baseband data

44

00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:50,000

The current common font brands are as follows

45

00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,933

Samsung, starting with SEC

46

00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:56,200

Hynix, starting with SKhy

47

00:02:56,733 --> 00:02:58,466

SanDisk, and Toshiba

48

00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,666

Let's take a look at the comparison of the transmission speed of eMMC and UFS,

49

00:03:10,333 --> 00:03:13,300

the mainstream font library of Android phones

50

00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:15,333

From this comparison chart,

51

00:03:15,466 --> 00:03:18,966

we can see that there are two types of fonts we currently use,

52

00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:22,400

one is eMMC and the other is UFS

53

00:03:23,266 --> 00:03:28,700

Generally, the eMMC font library is used on low-end and mid-end mobile phones,

54

00:03:30,266 --> 00:03:34,133

and the UFS font library is used on high-end mobile phones

55

00:03:34,366 --> 00:03:40,000

That is to say, the speed of UFS will be faster than that of eMMC

56

00:03:41,966 --> 00:03:47,900

In this picture, we compare UFS 3.0 and eMMC 5.1

57

00:03:48,166 --> 00:03:51,166

As you can see, their speeds are different

58

00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:56,300

eMMC is a simple font library, just a hard disk,

59

00:03:56,733 --> 00:03:59,800

and UFS is also a simple font library

60

00:04:01,133 --> 00:04:04,666

The eMCP is launched on the basis of eMMC

61

00:04:05,233 --> 00:04:07,766

How can we understand this eMCP?

62

00:04:08,433 --> 00:04:12,100

It is eMMC flash memory, plus a control chip,

63

00:04:12,433 --> 00:04:13,766

plus a running memory

64

00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:19,266

That is to say, eMCP has a low-power memory in the font at the same time

65

00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:20,633

They are integrated

66

00:04:21,166 --> 00:04:23,033

From the appearance, it is a chip

67

00:04:23,333 --> 00:04:27,500

Then the uMCP appeared in the later development of UFS

68

00:04:27,766 --> 00:04:31,733

uMCP is actually a chip containing a font UFS,

69

00:04:31,866 --> 00:04:34,466

a DDR 5 generation running memory,

70

00:04:35,333 --> 00:04:38,433

which is the mainstream memory of Android mobile phones

71

00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,366

Ok, that's it for our lesson
