BOOTLOAD
Syntax:
bootload xbee | rs232
Description:
This command terminates the execution of the current RS210 firmware and places the
node in bootload mode. This will allow the loading of new firmware.
A parameter determines where the bootloader will listen: The
rs232
option will cause
the bootloader to listen on the RS232 serial port, and typically a connected PC with the
RsLoader program will be used to load the firmware. The
xbee
option will cause the
bootloader to listen on the radio, and typically the base station will send the new
firmware “over-the-air”.
See the FIRMWARE UPGRADES chapter for more information.
