RawSerial
This application was added in SMSDK 1.0.5
Introduction
RawSerial is a command-line (non graphical) tool that allows you to send arbitrary payloads to the API of a SmartMesh IP mote or manager.
It connects to:
The SmartMesh IP manager
The SmartMesh IP mote in slave mode
Running
You can run the RawSerial application:
by double-clicking on the Windows executable at
/win/RawSerial.exeby double-clicking on its source files at
/src/bin/RawSerial/NetworkHealth.py(may require additional steps on non-windows OSes)
Description
The RawSerial application allow the user to send API commands as raw hex bytes to a mote or manager and see the responses. It does not perform HDLC encoding.
To see a list of commands, use the help command:
Raw Serial Application - (c) Dust Networks
SmartMesh SDK 1.0.5.138
> help
Available commands:
- help (h): print this menu
- info (i): information about this application
- quit (q): quit this application
- uptime (ut): how long this application has been running
- connect (c): connnect to a serial port
- baudrate (b): set the baudrate
- tx (tx): transmit a number of bytes, represented in hexadecimal (e.g. "ab12eb44")
>
As an example, use the connect command to connect to the manager's API port:
> connect COM11
> opening COM11
connected successfully
The manager will begin sending mgrHello packets:
rxByte: 7e
rxByte: 00
rxByte: 03
rxByte: 00
rxByte: 02
rxByte: 04
rxByte: 00
rxByte: 9b
rxByte: 38
rxByte: 7eYou can use HdlcTool to decapsulate (to Raw) the response and confirm that it is a mgrHello.
You can then use the tx command to send a Hello packet. You can use the HdlcTool to do the encapsulation (to HDLC) of the raw API payload.
> tx 7e00010003040000f7ce7e
>
This will cause the manager to respond with a helloResponse packet. Again you can use HdlcTool to decapsulate the response.
rxByte: 7e
rxByte: 00
rxByte: 02
rxByte: 00
rxByte: 05
rxByte: 00
rxByte: 04
rxByte: 00
rxByte: 00
rxByte: 00
rxByte: e3
rxByte: dc
rxByte: 7e
At this point you can issue other raw API commands.
