Software upload commands

The CRC algorithm used, is the same as in the XModem protocol. CRC for the last data packet is only calculated for the actual data bytes in the packet. Pad last packet with 0x00 so that the data section is 256 bytes long. The PacketID counter starts at 0.

Command set	Command packet		Comments
SW start	8x 01 50 a2 0p 0q 0r	pqrstuvw = size, pq=LSB Returns y050ff if ok.
	0s 0t 0u 0v 0w ff	Fatal errors: Returns y06006ff if upload already
		in progress. Returns y06007ff if unable to
		access the flash.
SW end	8x 01 50 a1 ff	Sent after last SW packet, instructs camera to
		verify new application. Command may take up
		to 30 seconds to complete.
		Returns y050ff if ok. Issue a camera reboot to
		activate new software.
		Returns y06008ff if verification of sw failed.
SW abort	8x 01 50 a3 ff	Abort sw upload in progress
SW packet	8x a0 pp qq rr ss	ppqq = 16 bit packet id, pp=LSB
	[256 bytes data]	rrss = 16 bit CRC, rr=LSB
		Returns y0 50 ff if packet ok.
		-> send next one.
		Returns y0 60 09 ff if crc error -> retransmit
		packet.
		Returns y0 60 0a ff if id error
		-> retransmit packet
		Fatal errors:
		y0 60 0b ff	not in upload mode
		y0 60 0c ff	error writing data to flash
		NOTE: Entire message after 8x a0... is raw
		data, so it may contain 0xff. Header is kept as
		short as possible. Never route this message
		through Sony cameras.

Debug commands for TANDBERG cameras

NOTE: Never route these messages through Sony cameras. They are provided for debugging on the TANDBERG PrecisionHD cameras only, and do not conform to the Visca length requirements.

Command set	Command packet	Comments
CAM_PingPong_	8x ae ff	Reset ping ctr to 0.
Reset
CAM_Ping	8x af 0p 0q 0r 0s	pqrs = Pingval. Camera will respond with OK
	[256 bytes data] ff	if correct pingval received. Increase ctr with 1
		for next packet. Data section will be dumped to
		stdout if it fails.
CAM_Stdin	8x a4 [0-256 bytes	Send command to the command interpreter.
	stdin] 00 ff
CAM_Debug_	8x 01 39 0q ff	q=0: Debug mode off.
Mode		q=1: Debug mode on. Camera will send stdout
		as visca messages in the following format:
		y0 50 [0-256 bytes stdout] 00 ff

Other commands

Command set	Command packet		Comments
CAM_Boot	8x	01 42 ff	Reboot the camera. This will also reset serial
			speed to 9600.
CAM_Speed	8x	01 34 0p ff	p=0: Serial speed 9600. p=1: Serial speed
			115200. Reply will be sent before the speed
			switch takes place. Please wait 20ms after ok
			before sending new commands.
