The following is a summary of software tools provided.
5.1.1
Windows
®
7 MBIM driver
In order to support both Windows® 8 and Windows® 7 (for corporate legacy applications),
with a single modem architecture, IMC will provide a kernel level driver implementing the
Mobile Broadband Interface Model. The driver will be WHQL certified for Windows® 7.

GNSS UMDF driver for Windows
®
7 and Windows
®
8
IMC provides a GNSS "User mode" driver to enable GNSS Applications executing on
Windows PC/Tablet to communicate to the GNSS device located on the M.2 module. The
driver communicates to Modem module via AT commands over an ACM-CDC USB
channel.
5.1.3
M.2 module Firmware Update
This is a “user friendly” Windows GUI application enabling the consumer, whose Ultrabook
or tablet is hosting an Intel M.2 module, to update the firmware on WWAN module by
executing a graphical application based on .NET4 framework. The same application runs on
both Windows® 7 and Windows® 8 environments and its look & feel can be customized if
required.
This same application is used to upgrade the standard image flashed at the factory with one
that better fits the local Carrier. When a new SIM is inserted, the application will detect the
inserted SIM does not match the WWAN device firmware. It will then allow the user to
select and update the WWAN firmware with a suitable image reflecting the local network of
the Carrier.
5.1.4
End User Trace Tool
This is a Windows® 8 application allows a M.2 end user to collect debugging information
under guidance of a Customer Support operator. The log file can be sent to a Technical
support center and fed into an analysis tool, such as Intel’s Mobile Analyzer application, to
diagnose potential problems found in the field after module deployment.
