Device Instructions
Firmware Loading
The following process is used to load firmware onto the PX35. Firmware for the PX35 is divided into three parts: the Bootloader, the OS and an Application file. All three pieces use the same instructions for loading, the only part that changes is the actual file you load. See the downloads section for all available files.
- Setup and attach the cradle to the PC with which you will be loading firmware onto the device.
- On the PX35 press together the three button below the display (UP, DOWN, and TRIGGER). This will enter the OS' System Menu.
- Select the option to download Appl.
- Select IrDA from the second menu.
- Place the PX35 in the cradle (top down as always).
- Using Appload select 'Settings' > 'Port' and choose the COM port the cradle is connected to.
- Using Appload select 'File' > 'Download' and choose the file you wish to load.
- Wait until Appload reports success, you can now remove the PX35 from the cradle.
Development
The PX35 firmware is split into two levels, an Operating System and an Application. The Operating System Exposes the functions of the hardware to the Application level firmware, and the Application determines how the device behaves. The Operating System is developed and maintained solely by Opticon, however anyone can make an application for the PX35 using using Opticon's C-Library Kit and the included GCC WinArm Compiler.
Bluetooth Real Time Scanning
If you are looking to use the PX35 in a bluetooth real-time scanning mode then you will want to load Application [[#Downloads|XFF3668_ on the product.
If possible request this at the time of order so our production department can do this for you.
