Wireless bootloader for the ATmega168 and XBee Series 1 modules
|
7 |
|
8 |
This is a small (728 byte) serial bootloader designed to be a robust solution for remote reset and wireless
|
9 |
booloading. It's not extremely fast, but is very hardy.
|
10 |
|
11 |
The remote unit (the AVR usually) broadcasts the non-visible character ASCII(6). It then waits for a response
|
12 |
over the serial link for the non-visible character ASCII(5). If received, the remote unit enters bootloading mode.
|
13 |
If the correct character 5 is not received, the remote unit jumps to the beginning of the regular program code.
|
14 |
|
15 |
Bootloading includes checksum calculation, and timeouts. Timeouts is most important because a wireless
|
16 |
link does not always deliver segments of the serial stream in a deterministic fashion - a good wireless unit
|
17 |
will buffer all sorts of stuff, making the connection stream irregular in throughput.
|
18 |
|
19 |
This bootloader accepts a pure binary stream (not an intel hex file format). All file parsing is done on the
|
20 |
base side (usually a beefy computer with lots of extra processing ability).
|
21 |
|

Things I learned from testing:
|
23 |
|
24 |
XBee series 2.5 units have their uses, but not here. I beat my head against the wall trying to form a sensible link and failed.
|
25 |
Ultimately, plugging series 1 in, it worked wonderfully. If you need point-to-point, series 1 is wonderful. If you really
|
26 |
need true mesh node networking, Series 2.5 is good.
|
27 |
|
28 |
XBee Series 2.5 ships with CTS enabled! That's why the AT commands through hyperterminal were not working. Grr.
|
29 |
|
30 |
To get a Series 2.5 link to work, you must configure device on XBee Explorer as Coordinator, and the device in your arduino board as the end device.
|
31 |
|
32 |
Trying to use Series 2.5 for a good point-to-point link:
|
33 |
With CTS Enabled, 19200bps, Packetization Timeout at 3 (default), still bit errors, even with 1ms delay between characters
|
34 |
With CTS Enabled, 19200bps, Packetization Timeout at 0, with 1ms delay between characters helps a lot, but will get character errors if there is RF interferance (units further than a few feet apart)
|
35 |
|
36 |
With CTS/RTS Enabled, 19200bps, Packet timeout at 0, no delay but with flow control, we have very solid link -> one way!
|
37 |
while( (PIND & (1<<CTS)) != 0); //Don't send anything to the XBee, it is thinking
|
38 |
|
39 |
You do not seem to need CTS/RTS/DTR to read or program an XBee.
|
40 |
|
41 |
With XB24-ZB unit, the end device can transmit all it wants, the coordinator seems to die after a few seconds. This
|
42 |
was the ultimate downfall of the series 2.5 for me. The link would work, but the coordinator would drop off after a few
|
43 |
seconds? Series 1 did not do this.
|
44 |
|
45 |
All of the following code works exceptionally well with Series 1 "XB24" "XBee 802.15.4" "v10CD" firmware
|
46 |
|
47 |
To configure the XBees, follow "Lady Ada wireless arduino" info
|
48 |
|
49 |
Series 1 module settings:
|
50 |
Baud: 19200
|
51 |
No flow control (CTS is left on as default)
|
52 |
No change to packetization timeout (default = 3?)
|
53 |
|
54 |
RTS on XBee board goes up and down with the com advanced trick NOT checked, and hardware control turned ON under terminal
|
55 |
|
56 |
In VB, turn handshaking off. When RTSEnable = True, the RTS pin goes low, resetting the AVR
|
57 |
|
58 |
Wireless:
|
59 |
38 seconds to load 14500 code words (most of the space) at 38400 / 8MHz (internal osc)
|
60 |
38 seconds to load 14500 code words (most of the space) at 19200 / 8MHz (internal osc)
|
61 |
Wired:
|
62 |
11 seconds to load 14500 code words (most of the space) at 19200 / 8MHz (internal osc)
|
63 |
so you see, there is no benefit to a higher baud rate. The XBee protocol is the bottleneck
|
64 |
|
65 |
How to read the flash contents to file :
|
66 |
avrdude -c stk200 -p m168 -P lpt1 -Uflash:r:bl.hex:i
|
67 |
This will dump the current flash contents of an AVR to a read-able hex file called "bl.hex". This
|
68 |
was very helpful when testing whether flash writing was actually working.
|
69 |
|
70 |
Oh, and if you happen to be using an XBee with a UFL antenna connector (and don't have a UFL antenna sitting around)
|
71 |
you can convert it to a wire antenna simply by soldering in a short wire into the XBee. It may not be the best,
|
72 |
but it works.
