20.5 AT^SFDL Enter Firmware Download Mode
The
AT^SFDL
command allows the application manufacturer to download TC63 firmware into the module by
starting the download process from the host application or a customer-designed download program. The down-
load can be done over the serial interfaces ASC0 or ASC1 or the USB interface.
For this purpose, the TC63 firmware update file must be available in the format *.USF. The file can be requested
from Siemens. The firmware file consists of records to be transferred one by one from the host application to the
module.
This manual only describes the handling of the
AT^SFDL
command. All technical requirements and steps to pre-
pare the host application for this download solution can be found in the Application Note "Updating Firmware".
An example for developing an appropriate download program is included.
The
AT^SFDL
execute command causes the module to reset and enter the firmware download mode (this may
take some milliseconds). After entering the download mode the module sends the start pattern HEX 0x01
("ANSWER_OK") to the application to indicate its ready state. Next, the application shall start to send the records
of the firmware file. Each record received on the module is acknowledged to the host application. Once all
records are successfully received, the module shuts down automatically.
If the module is switched on although it has no valid firmware installed, it waits 60s for the
AT^SFDL
command
(or for another download method to be started, such as WinSwup). If neither the
AT^SFDL
command nor equiv-
alent characters from another download method are received the module switches off after a 60s timeout.
If a valid firmware is still installed, but the
AT^SFDL
command is issued without sending any firmware afterwards
the module will stay in ready state. In this case it must be switched off.
