Abstract This paper discusses the implementation and functionality of the QCUDe (Qualcomm USB Debugging) driver with MHI (Modem Host Interface) support for facilitating firmware download operations. It covers the architectural role of MHI in PCIe-based communication, the download mode handshake, and the specific driver enhancements required to support seamless firmware recovery and flashing on modern Qualcomm modems and SoCs. 1. Introduction Qualcomm’s recent modem and SoC platforms (e.g., Snapdragon X55, X65, SD888, SD 8 Gen series) increasingly use PCIe as the primary interconnect between the host system and the modem or application processor. MHI (Modem Host Interface) is the protocol layer that abstracts control, data, and event transfers over PCIe. the download mode handshake
