XBee Firmware

Hello,

Is it possible to install the firmware on a XBee module, using mbed, without xctu and/or a computer? I mean, have the firmware file that one desires on a SD card or mbed memory and install to a mbed connected through mbed serial.

It occurred to me that if this was possible, it would be very useful for some applications, but I don't see this possibility documented anywhere.

Thank you!

B.r., Sergio

boot EM250 bootloader, upload firmware using xmodem-1k-crc.
http://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/XBee%20ZB%20User%20Manual.pdf

I asume that since this is a bootloader this is only for the programable version of the XBee?

Hello Norimasa, thank you for your answers. Could you kindly be more specific? So you say it's possible to substitute the original bootloader for this one on the non-Pro version? I see on the documentation most bootloader information regarding the Pro version. What I want to know is if I can transfer a firmware update, through serial (wired, I mean) with the help of a microcontroller and not with XCTU.

B.r., Sergio
