5.2.5.1 Including Firmware Update in Cloned Application

If you include the firmware update in the master RCM4510W program, clone this program to an

RCM4510W clone, and then let that program run on the clone, then the firmware update will fail

unless you remove the cloning cable from the clone before the firmware update begins.

To avoid this failure, Rabbit recommends that you include code in the master program that is to

be cloned to check the firmware version when the RCM4510W resets or boots up. The reset or

boot-up will happen as a matter of course once the cloning cable is removed and the RCM4510W

clone operates in the Run Mode for the first time. The firmware version can be checked by calling

— if an error returns, the firmware update will happen successfully since the

xbee_init()

cloning cable is no longer attached, and if there is no error returned, the firmware is already up-

to-date and the RCM4510W clone will reset or boot up normally.

The ZigBee drivers are located in the

folder. Complete information on

LIB\Rabbit4000\XBee

these libraries and the ZigBee function calls is provided in Section 6.4.
