Tech Tip

Procedures for downloading and starting an Open AT application

To download & start using your OpenAT application, there are two commands you need to issue.
AT+WDWL & AT+WOPEN Command
AT+WDWL command switches the serial port to download mode, where your OpenAT application will be downloaded using 1K-Xmodem protocol.
In firmware version R74 & above, UART2 & USB port also supports AT+WDWL command.

AT+WOPEN command performs start, stop, delete, configuration & gets information on the OpenAT application.

 
The procedure is as follows:
AT+WDWL
For windows machines, use Hyper Terminal & under Transfer->Send Files choose 1K-Xmodem protocol

AT+CFUN=1 Resets the modem
AT+WOPEN=1 Starts the application
AT+WOPEN=7 Check your application running state

If it returns with +WOPEN: 7, 12 then your application were started successfully.
