4. Firmware
The module is pre-loaded with the bootloader, which supports serial bootloading of firmware update. The
module contains RAEMesh application and comply with the RAE System’s RCS protocol. The module also has
built-in RAEMesh Module Command Interface(RMCI).
This documentation is focused on the instruction on RMCI interface.
The RMCI command interface allows customer to easily access to low level mesh functionality without pain to
develop the firmware. The module can be configured to a GTW to hook up to a getaway or just a stand alone
regular full function node or a Sleepy reduce function node.
Make sure to configure the module to right mode before using.
1) Quick Start
UART
Via the TXD1 and RXD1 pins the command interpreter can be accessed. The RCM can buffer up to 128 bytes of incoming
data in a software FIFO buffer and uses XON/XOFF flow control. See the datasheet of the Atmel ATmega1281 for more
information about the build-in UART.
Connect Pin5 (TXD1) and Pin7 (RXD1) to the customer board. Use the following settings for serial port.
RTR and STD: 19200bps, 8N1.
GTW: 38400bps, 8N1.
Data Packet
RCM will transmit any data in the { }, all data in the {} will be transparently sent out without radio’s interpretation. The
maximum data packet is 90 bytes including {}.
The data in the {} can be any characters including ‘{‘ ‘}’ ’[‘ ’]’ .
The interval between 2 data packets must be >200ms for RTR and GTW.
The interval between 2 data packets must be >1s for STD.
Wakeup
If the radio is set to STD mode, the Wakeup pin Pin19 (PE7) is used to make the radio asleep and wakeup. A constant
high on this pin will let the radio go to the sleep mode and a low level signal on this pin will wake-up the radio.
The Radio sleep mode is the power save mode so the power consumption can be very low. (<40uA)
The Wakeup pin must be held up to 10ms before sending a data packet.
Power
Ground: Pin1, Pin2 and Pin4.
VCC: Pin39, Pin40. 3.0V or 3.3V
Radio consumes less than 100mW in normal RX/TX mode.
Radio consumes 600mW at TX and 100mW at RX for High power module
Heartbeat
Connect Pin12 to a LED for heartbeat indicator.

PC communication
Please has your serial port debug software installed on the PC. For example: sscom32.exe
Microsoft Hyper Terminal is not recommended for this application because it is not good to send characters and
commands in Hex.
Base on correct setting and connection, you will see following display on your screen when power is applied.

Length
Total length of packet + 0x20, include ‘[‘ and ‘]’.
Command Code
0x20 ~ 0xFF. Excluding:0x5A~0x5F and 0x7A~0x7F. 0xF0~0xFF are
reserved for common commands.
Even for packet sent from SDTE or RDTE to RCM.

EOP
Hex
Radio protocol end of packet.. This is always ‘]’(0x5D)
The minimum length for one packet is 4 bytes long. The Length is 0x20 based. E.g. the total length of a packet without
command data is 4, the Length byte is 0x20 + 4 = 0x24.
The SDTE or RDTE always initiate the communication with Radio module (RRCM, SRCM). Radio Module responses to
the command it received.
The Command Code for packet sent from SDTE or RDTE to Radio module is even, the response from Radio module to
SDTE or RDTE is 1 higher than the command code.
Command Data can be empty.
No command for 0x5A~0x5F and 0x7A~0x7F.
A Section 0xF0~0xFF is reserved for common commands such as help, Version etc.
Caution: the maximum packet length from SOP to EOP is 64 bytes.

Check RCM’s information when turn on the radio. Command: 5B 24 60 5D.
Wait at least 5s for RCM to finish the initialization after power on.
Check the network status of the STD before sending the data for first time. Command: 5B 24 20 5D.
It is recommend to add 1s interval between 2 data packets for STD. Check 0x5b 24 27 5d for sending
acknowledge with successfully. There is no ACK for transmission failed.
6. For STD, if there is no network, the RCM will automatically wake up every 10 minute to search for a new network.
It can be interrupted any time. RCM will keep in asleep if it has joined a network.

N/A
Owing to the difference of specification, RAEMesh
and RAEMeshII can’t inter-communication
In RAEMesh, all device can save their child or
neighbor table into eeprom.
RAEMeshII can’t support this feature, so they
should re-form or re-join by themselves after
reset.
Next hop is that Router/RTR send frame to GTW
through next hop’s routing.
In RAEMesh, GTW manage MTOR periodically
and automatically.
In RAEMeshII, Router need to do route discovery
and maintenance by themselves.
N/A
In RAEMeshII, high, medium and low represent
different txpower on different platform.

5. Bootloader
Bootloader is a stand-alone utility consisting of two parts: embedded bootstrap code that should be loaded to the
flash memory of a supported MCU and the PC based application that sends data to the embedded bootstrap over
serial link. Embedded bootstrap code uses the received data to program the internal flash memory of the MCU.
A simple communication protocol is used to ensure proper programming. RAEMeshII have two types of
bootloader, one is from Atmel, the other is from REC.
When we buy Atmel Zigbit module, it have been programmed Atmel Bootloader in its boot section, it use
Motorola S-record (SREC) format files as source images for serial bootloader PC part. ZigBitFwUpgrade.exe
or RadioSmart.exe can be PC Utility for upgrade.
RAELoader is compliance with 904-E800-310 RAELoader Communication Protocol.doc. RFP format files are
supported as source images for the serial bootloader PC part. RAEProgrammer4000.exe can be PC Utility for
upgrade.
Serial Bootloader is supported on a set of Atmel microcontrollers as shown below Table.

Modem Type Remark
ATmaga1281
Atmel Bootloader RM2400A
Use AVRUsb to embed loader.
RM900
RAELoader
AT91SAM7X256 RAELoader
RM900A
Use Jlink to embed loader
1) How to distinguish
When a RAEMeshII modem is in our hand, how can we distinguish what bootloder they have? This section will
teach you.
Caution: if module type is RM2400A or RM900, we need use following section to distinguish; if module type is RM900A,
all of them use RAELoader_Sam7x, jump to section 2 “How to embed”.
a) Just have bootloader
If this modem just have bootloader in its boot flash memory and its application flash memory is empty, we
should reset modem to distinguish whether it print startup message. When this modem have RAELoader, reset
may cause modem toggle LED1 and print startup message as below:
For Internal Use Only
If there is not any phenomenon on LED1 and USART after reset modem, this modem embed Atmel bootloader.
b) Bootloader and application mixed
If modem have bootloader and application in corresponding flash memory, using above method is useless. We
can use SET_BOOTLOADER(0x5B 24 56 5D) to distinguish.
First, send SET_BOOTLOADER through USART port to modem.
Then, if modem reset and print startup menu of application as below, this modem embed Atmel bootloader.
If modem print startup menu of RAELoader as below and toggle LED1 very quickly, this modem embed
RAELoader.
For Internal Use Only
2) How to embed RAELoader_ATMega1281
If you want to embed bootloader into RM900 or RM2400A which use ATMega1281 as mcu, no matter Atmel
bootloader or RAELoader, you should prepare corresponding tool.
Software: AVRUSB V2.0.2.231
Hardware: AVRUSB Programmer and RAEMeshII Dev board.
Then, operate step by step as below,
a) Make sure the correct hardware selected
b) Make sure the AVRUSB connected to dev board and board is power on, click “Reset”.
If a green label is at bottom of AVRUSB framework, go to next step.

Hardware: JLINK ARM Programmer and RAEMeshII Dev board.
Then, operate step by step as below,
a) open J-Flash ARM and press “Alt + F7”, you will see this window:
For Internal Use Only
b) click “CPU” and choose AT91SAM7X256 as device.
c) put RM900A on dev board and use JLINK to connect with it.
d) click “File” ->”Open data file” to choose RAELoader_Sam7x *.hex file.
For Internal Use Only
e) click “Target” -> “Erase chip” to erase all flash memory.
f) click “Target” -> “Program” to downloader RAELoader hex file into mcu.
For Internal Use Only
g) click “Target” -> “Start application” to make mcu run.
h) Then, embed RAELoader_Sam7x is successful, go to Section4.
4) Firmware Upgrade
User should use different utility to upgrade RAEMeshII application firmware.
a) Using Atmel bootloader to upgrade
1. Select firmware file, *.srec
2. Select correct com port
3. Click “Program”, then Reset RAEMesh2 module in 30 seconds
Waiting for program successful.
For Internal Use Only
b) Using RAELoader to upgrade
1. Use RMCI command to access RAELoader
If modem run app firmware, we can use RMCI command, 0x5b 24 56 5d, to access RAELoader for firmware
upgrade.
2. Use jumper to access RAELoader
We can use hardware jumper to access RAELoader. First, jump specified pin to ground; second, press reset
button on evaluation board to reset modem; then modem access into RAELoader.
For Internal Use Only
Now, we have two type of evaluation board, please use following method for loader jumper. Old evaluation board
setup, it is the same with how to set ZcoRAE-M3 into bootloader.
New evaluation board setup
For Internal Use Only
3. RAELoader Indication
RAELoader use LEDs blink and toggle on M3 adapter or evaluation board to tell user the situation of loader.
When modem access into RAELoader, one LED, which lable is LED2 on M3 adapter, will blink continuously. If start to
upgrade firmware, two LEDs on evaluation board will blink continuously and alternately.
4. Upgrade
When modem is in RAELoader, we use RAEProgrammer4000 to upgrade firmware, detail please refer to user
guide of RAEProgrammer4000.
5. Quit
if modem access into RAELoader using RMCI command, reset or upgrade successfully can make modem out.
