Example: Use the device's .gbl firmware image to update the XBee firmware
synchronously
To update the XBee firmware synchronously with Python 3.0, but using the device firmware image
already uploaded to Remote Manager, upload the device's *.gbl firmware to Remote Manager:
1. Download the updated firmware file for your device from
. This zip file
contains the firmware image.
2. Unzip the file and locate the .gbl file inside the unzipped directory.
