2.1.2 Verify method of MP5S Connection
Sometimes, when writing, the error information is given from PC, show the IC isn’t place correct, then you can
Verify the connection as below
Draw out the power line and USB line from MP5S，and open the MP5S
Note: Every transfer board ，the writing pins of M5S are fixed，on J2.
Check the connection of writing pins on J2 with corresponding pins on IC with multi-meter. If they short ,then
the connection is OK; Otherwise find the reason and solve it. Please refer our IC specs to know the pins of IC

Figure 2-4 MP5S Writer Interface
Note:
If USB link is OK, the sign on right down corner of software interface will turn from orange to green;
If USB link fail, then the color remain orange, and please find the reason and solve it;
2.2.2 Select IC and Download Writing Program
: Click the button on the top left corner, to show the interface of Figure 2-5, and select the
corresponding IC series and the specific IC to be written.

Notes：
Option “下载 Bin”: The option is default option, Figure 2-6 will be popped up after confirming the option, then
the Bin file to be downloaded into the writer is selected, the file is downloaded after confirming, and in
common situation, the default option is enough to use.
Option “不下载 Bin”: "Blank Check" or " Read”is required sometime without writing, at this time the option can
be selected.

2.2.3 Writing Steps (Auto write, Blank Check, Write, Verify, Read)
：“Auto Program”includes two actions: “Blank Check”and “program”.
After IC is placed into the MP5S socket, and the BIN file is downloaded into the MP5S , this button shall be clicked,
so that the MP5S Writer will execute the above two actions in turn, if any of the three actions is error, the MP5S will
give the corresponding error message and stop . If the writing is successful, then the interface of Verify Success is
appeared, as shown in Figure 2-8;；
Figure 2-8 "Verify" Success Interface
“Blank check ", "program", "verify" and other actions may be executed separately.

快速指引手册
SONIX TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. Page 10 Version 06
Check whether the IC is blank or not, and give the corresponding information;
Write the BIN file downloaded in the MP5S to IC; (in some cases, part of the BIN file has been
written in the IC, but the file is not complete, at this time the IC may be inserted into the MP5S again, and click
the button to continue writing until the Bin file is completely written. )
Check if the data written into the IC is correct; If not, the information will be given;
Read the value written in the IC; (Note: the read data is not original Bin file, but the customer can
compare the value of IC which is written successfully and the value of IC which is written failure, so that the ROM
region having writing error of the IC which is written failure can be found.)

Include writing time, the number of successes, and the number of failures, is used for clearing information.
2.2.4 Language and Offline Mode Setting
Click “Option” on the top right corner of the software interface, to show the following interface as

Figure 2-10 (settings for offline default mode)
FUN0: Include “Blank Check”+ “program”;
FUN6: Include “Program”, without blank check, so the time of offline writing is short than that of FUNO
mode.
Note: If the offline default mode is not set in the software interface, the writing mode of the MP5S in offline
mode will retain the previous setting, and in addition, the mode can be set by MODE key in offline mode.

Offline Write
Download the program into the MP5S in online mode, select the offline mode in the software interface (or
select by the mode key in offline mode)
Fun0: In offline write, “Blank Check”+ “program”, the “Blank Check”will be executed at first, so the writing
time will be relatively longer.
Fun6: In offline write, “program”, the writer will directly write without black check, so the writing time will be
relatively shorter。
3.1 Manual Write
Remove the USB cable, disconnect from the computer, and supply power to the MP5S through the power
adapter, the writer will reset automatically and enter the offline mode. (The writer will automatically check whether
the Checksum value is correct, or it cannot start up and display "Err4"; If correct, the model of MCU to be written
and the software version of the writer will be displayed at first, the yellow LED will flash once and the buzzer will
ring once, and then the model of MCU to be written and the Checksum value are display in cycle, the checksum
value is same as the File checksum value of the software when it is connected with the computer.)
Manually press "Mode" key and "Enter" key to choose a function to be executed. At the same time, the writing
information can be viewed according to the LEDs.
"Mode": Mode selecting key, the key can be seen by opening the iron shell of MP5S, generally the mode is
selected in the software, and the key is not used in manual mode.
Enter": click the key to begin writing, then check whether the writing is success or failure through the LCD.
3.2 Write on Machine
Remove the USB cable, disconnect from the computer, and supply power to the MP5S through the power
adapter, place the MP5S on the writing machine, which is connected with the machine through 6 control lines.

Trouble shooting
4.1 Test Mode
In offline condition, the voltage of the MP5S writer can be measured in test mode. Steps to enter the test mode
are as follows:
Open the upper shell and remove the placed IC;
Hold on “Enter”key, power on the writer, and light the green, yellow and red led in cycle, and meanwhile the
buzzer beeps regularly, and the digital tube displays 0000-9999 in cycle, so that the test mode is entered, please
release the “Enter”key.
Measure VXX/VPP voltage by using calibrated multi-meter, and specific location is as shown in Figure 4-1.
Normal condition: VXX Voltage alternates between 3.3V and 5V; VPP Voltage alternates among 5V, 6.5V, 7.5V
and 12.7V;
It can preliminarily check whether hardware of MP5S is damaged by measuring the voltages of VXX and VPP of
the MP5S in the test mode.
After the measurement is completed, power on again, the MP5S will enter normal operation mode.
