7.1.1 System Overview

MT6260M is a monolithic chip integrating leading edge power management unit, analog baseband
and radio circuitry based on the low power CMOS process.

MT6260M is a feature-rich and extremely powerful single-chip solution

TM for high-end GSM/GPRS and

EDGE-Rx capability. Based on the 32-bit ARM7EJ-S RISC processor, MT6260M’s superb
processing power, along with high bandwidth architecture and dedicated hardware support, provides
a platform for high-performance GPRS/EDGE-Rx Class 12 MODEM application and leading-edge
multimedia applications.

Description: can’t power on(also upgrade software fail)
Root cause: red scroll 100% run completely when upgrade software, the detail as figure 1, also it prove power supply, clock is
normal and defective typical issue is focus on CPU or FLASH poor soldering or damage, and maybe software
do not fit for hardware.
Corrective action: check software fit for hardware whether or not, resolding CPU and FLASH or exchange new CPU and
FLASH.
