READ (0x04):
The READ command can be used to read the specified number of bytes from the GPM location specified. Data
can be queried from only one GPM block per command.
READ _RESPONSE (0x84):
When a READ command request has been unicast to a node, that node will send a response in the following
format to the source endpoint specified in the requesting frame.
Example:
To read 15 bytes of previously written data from flash block 22 of a target radio with serial number of
0x0013a200407402ac a READ packet should be formatted as follows (spaces added to delineate fields):
7E 001C 11 01 0013A200407402AC FFFE E6 E6 0023 C105 00 C0 04 00 0016 0000 000F 3B
Assuming all transmissions were successful and that flash block 22 was previously written with incrementing
data, the following API packets would be output the source node's serial interface:
7E 0007 8B 01 FFFE 00 00 00 76
7E 0029 91 0013A200407402AC FFFE E6 E6 0023 C105 C1 84 00 0016 0000 000F 0102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F C3
FIRMWARE_VERIFY (0x05) and FIRMWARE_VERIFY_AND_INSTALL(0x06):
The FIRMWARE_VERIFY and FIRMWARE_VERIFY_AND_INSTALL commands are used when remotely updating
firmware on a module. Remote firmware upgrades are covered in detail in the next section. These commands
check if the General Purpose Memory contains a valid over-the-air update file. For the
Field Name
Command-Specific Description
GPM_CMD_ID
Should be set to READ (0x04)
GPM_OPTIONS
There are currently no options defined for this command. Set this field
to 0.
GPM_BLOCK_NUM
Set to the index of the GPM block that should be read.
GPM_START_INDEX
Set to the byte index within the GPM block where the given data
should be read.
GPM_NUM_BYTES
Set to the number of data bytes to be read. Only one GPM block can
be operated on per command. For this reason, GPM_START_INDEX
+ GPM_NUM_BYTES cannot be greater than the GPM block size. It is
also important to remember that the number of bytes sent in an explicit
API frame (including the GPM command fields) cannot exceed the
maximum payload size of the radio. The maximum payload size can
be queried with the NP AT command.
GPM_DATA
No data bytes should be specified for this command.
Field Name
Command-Specific Description
GPM_CMD_ID
Should be set to READ_RESPONSE (0x84)
GPM_STATUS
A 1 in the least significant bit indicates an error occurred. All other bits
are reserved at this time.
GPM_BLOCK_NUM
Matches the parameter passed in the request frame.
GPM_START_INDEX
Matches the parameter passed in the request frame.
GPM_NUM_BYTES
The number of bytes in the GPM_DATA field.
GPM_DATA
The bytes read from the GPM block specified.
