Software upload commands

The CRC algorithm used is the same as in the XModem protocol. CRC for 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	Command Packet	Comments
SW start	8x 01 50 a2 0p 0q 0r 0s 0t 0u	pqrstuvw = size, pq=LSB
	0v 0w ff	Returns y050ff if ok.
		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 [256 bytes	ppqq = 16 bit packet id,
	data]	pp=LSB
		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

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

Command	Command Packet	Comments
CAM_PingPong_Reset	8x ae ff	Reset ping ctr to 0.
CAM_Ping	8x af 0p 0q 0r 0s [256 bytes	pqrs = Pingval. Camera will
	data] ff	respond with OK 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 stdin] 00 ff	Send command to the
		command interpreter.
CAM_Debug_Mode	8x 01 39 0q ff	q=0: Debug mode off.
		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

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.
