14.2.1Description
Triggers the firmware update using the Xmodem or Xmodem-1k protocol.
The command syntax differs depending on the module series: see the corresponding subsection for the correct
command handling.
The errors (data corruption, data loss, etc.) during the Update phase are internally handled by the Xmodem
protocol itself; for more details about the error result codes, see FOAT error result codes.
If no data comes to the module after having issued the AT+UFWUPD command, up to ten NACK are sent
and then Firmware Update Mode is dropped out coming back to normal mode; the FW is unchanged and
still useable (ERROR1).
For more details, see the u-blox Firmware Update Application Note [86].
14.2.2Description
Making use of the file triggers the firmware download using the Xmodem or Xmodem-1k protocols.
In case of power loss during the download, at the next module wake-up the module remains in Firmware
Download Mode expecting that the download restarts from the beginning.
