pxbee-fwup.js

A command line utility fwup for interacting with Digi's XBee radios that are equipped with an 8-bit microcontroller HCS08 for application logic. By default, the provided SDK is only operable within Windows. So for Linux/MacOS alternative tooling is required.

NB! This is still a work-in-progress and no guarantees are given that this software works as intended. Feel free to experiment but be careful and use this software only at your own risk!

Demo

fwup features:

• Init sequence for the module to boot into Bootloader menu
• Going into Bypass mode (in this case the module can be operated as any standard XBee radio)
• HCS08 Firmware upgrade via XMODEM transfer

Planned featured (TBD):

• Over-the-air firmware upgrade

Expect to work with Programmable S2B modules as well as the following S2C Modules:

• XB24CZ7PITB003
• XB24CZ7WITB003
• XB24CZ7UITB003
• XB24CZ7SITB003
• XB24CZ7PISB003
• XB24CZ7RISB003
• XB24CZ7UISB003
• XBP24CZ7PITB003
• XBP24CZ7WITB003
• XBP24CZ7SITB003
• XBP24CZ7PISB003
