The GM862-GPS will provide a direct support for the camera whose characteristics are: Model: TRANSCHIP TC5747 Technology: CMOS COLOR camera Max picture size: VGA 640x480 pixels Output format: JPEG Sensitivity: 4V/lux-sec (including gain) The camera will be directly managed by the GM862-GPS hardware/software with some

interface circuitry, providing a custom AT command interface to operate with it. The camera interface requires the pins and GPIOs:

• CAM_SDA

• CAM_SCL

• CAM_CLK

• CAM_ON

• CAM_RST

When the camera is activated, then these pins are not accessible as GPIO. The AT commands of the module permit to take a snapshot and successively download it

through the serial line in various formats.

3.10 Software Features

3.10.1 Enhanced Easy GPRS Extension

The Easy GPRS feature allows a Telit GM862-GPS user to contact a device in internet and establish with it a raw data flow over the GPRS and Internet networks.

This feature can be seen as a way to obtain a "virtual" serial connection between the Application Software on the Internet machine involved and the controller of the Telit GM862-GPS module, regardless of all the software stacks underlying.

An example of the protocol stack involved in the devices is reported:

Figure 5 Enhance Easy GPRS Extension layout

This particular implementation allows to the devices interfacing to the Telit GM862-GPS module the use of the GPRS and Internet packet service without the need to have an internal TCP/IP stack since this function is embedded inside the module.

The new Enhanced version of the Easy GPRS overcomes some of the known limitations of the previous implementation and implements some new features such as:

- Keep the GPRS context active even after the closing of a socket, allowing the application to keep the same IP address;

- Also Mobile terminated (incoming) connections can be made, now it is possible to receive incoming TCP connection requests;

- A new internal firewall has been implemented in order to guarantee a certain level of security on internet applications.

3.10.2 Easy GPRS definition

The Easy GPRS feature provides a way to replace the need of an Internet TCP/IP stack at the terminal equipment side. The steps that will be required to obtain a virtual serial connection (that is actually a socket) to the Internet peer are:

a) configuring the GPRS Access b) configuring the embedded TCP/IP stack behaviour c) defining the Internet Peer to be contacted d) request the GPRS and socket connections to be opened (host is connected) e) exchange raw data

Pag.23 of 79

TECHNICAL MANUAL

Telit GM862-GPS

Quad Band GPS Data Terminal Module

f) close the socket and GPRS context

All these steps are achieved through AT commands. As for common modem interface, two logical status are involved: command mode and

data traffic mode.

- In Command Mode (CM), some AT commands are provided to configure the Data Module Internet stack and to start up the data traffic.

- In data traffic mode (Socket Mode, SKTM), the client can send/receive a raw data stream which will be encapsulated in the previously configured TCP / IP packets which will be sent to the other side of the network and viceversa. Control plane of ongoing socket connection is deployed internally to the module.

3.10.3 Configuring the GPRS access

The GPRS access configuration is done by setting:

- the GPRS context number 1 parameters (see +CGDCONT command)

- the Authentication parameters: User Name and Password (see commands #USERID, #PASSW)

3.10.4 Configuring the embedded TCP/IP stack

The TCP/IP stack behaviour must be configured by setting:

- the packetizer default packet size (see command #PKTSZ)

- the data sending timeout (see command #DSTO)

- the socket inactivity timeout (see command #SKTTO)

3.10.5 Defining the Internet peer to be contacted

As last setting definition, the host to be contacted and on which port/protocol must be set :

- the socket definition (see command #SKTSET)

This command permits also to specify the host name instead of its IP address, if a host name is given to the set command, then the module stores it as a host nick name. It is care of the module user to guarantee that the host nick name provided corresponds to an existing internet peer.

If an host nick name has been given then, while opening the connection in response to the AT#SKTOP command, the module will autonomously activate a GPRS connection and query its DNS to obtain the IP address relative to the host nick name provided. This process of context activation and DNS query may require a bit more time and requires that the GPRS network coverage is good enough to permit data transfers.

3.10.6 Open the connection with the internet host

With the AT#SKTOP all the process required to connect with the internet host starts:

- GM862-GPS activates the first context

- GM862-GPS proceeds to the authentication

- Eventually does the DNS query to resolve the IP address of the host name internet peer

- GM862-GPS establishes a TCP/UDP (depending on the parameter request) connection with the given internet host

- Once the connection is up the module reports the code: CONNECT

From this moment the data incoming in the serial port is packet and sent to the Internet host, while the data received from the host is serialised and flushed to the Terminal Equipment.

3.10.7 Close the Socket and deactivate the context

The connection can be closed because of:

- remote host TCP connection close

- socket inactivity timeout

- Terminal Equipment by issuing the escape sequence "+++"

- Network deactivation

Note: if in the raw data to be sent there's an escape sequence, then the TE must work it out and sent it in a different fashion to guarantee that the connection is not closed.

The pause time is defined in the parameter S12. On the reception of an escape sequence the GM862-GPS closes the connection,

deactivates the GPRS context returning to command mode and issuing the NO CARRIER code.

3.10.8 Enhanced Easy GPRS Outgoing connection

The New Enhanced Easy GPRS feature provides a way to place outgoing TCP/UDP connections and keep the same IP address after a connection, leaving the GPRS context active.

The steps that will be required open a socket and close it without closing the GRPS context are:

g) configuring the GPRS Access h) configuring the embedded TCP/IP stack behaviour i) defining the Internet Peer to be contacted j) request the GPRS context to be activated k) request the socket connection to be opened l) exchange data m) close the TCP connection while keeping the GPRS active

All these steps are achieved through AT commands. As for common modem interface, two logical status are involved: command mode and

data traffic mode.

- In Command Mode (CM), some AT commands are provided to configure the Data Module Internet stack and to start up the data traffic.

3.10.8.2 Configuring the embedded TCP/IP stack

The TCP/IP stack behaviour must be configured by setting:

- the packetizer default packet size (see command #PKTSZ)

- the data sending timeout (see command #DSTO)

- the socket inactivity timeout (see command #SKTTO)

3.10.8.3 Defining the Internet peer to be contacted

As last setting definition, the host to be contacted and on which port/protocol must be set :

- the socket definition (see command #SKTSET)

Note that this setting command is not needed if the new #SKTD command is used.

3.10.8.4 Request the GPRS context to be activated

With the new command #GPRS you can activate or deactivate a GPRS context INDEPENDENTLY from the TCP socket opening,

AT#GPRS=1 activates the context, AT#GPRS=0 deactivates the context

Therefore with the AT#GPRS=1 command the module

- GM862-GPS activates the context previously defined with AT+CGDCONT

- GM862-GPS proceeds to the authentication

Note that activating a context implies getting an IP address from the network and this will be maintained throughout the session.

The response code to the AT#GPRS=1 command reports the IP address obtained from the network, allowing the user to report it to his server or application.

Deactivating the context implies freeing the network resources previously allocated to the device.

Rev. 0

3.10.8.5 Open the connection with the internet host

With the new command #SKTD (socket Dial) the TCP/UDP request to connect with the internet host starts:

- Eventually does the DNS query to resolve the IP address of the host name internet peer

- GM862-GPS establishes a TCP/UDP (depending on the parameter request) connection with the given internet host

- Once the connection is up the module reports the code: CONNECT

Note that the peer specifications of this socket Dial are within the command and not the one stored with #SKTSET command.

From this moment the data incoming in the serial port is packet and sent to the Internet host, while the data received from the host is serialised and flushed to the Terminal Equipment.

TECHNICAL MANUAL

Telit GM862-GPS

Quad Band GPS Data Terminal Module

NOTE: this command differently from the AT#SKTOP DOES NOT automate all the process of activating the GPRS, if no GPRS is active the command reports ERROR; therefore before issuing this command the GPRS shall be activated with AT#GPRS=1 command.

In the same manner, when disconnecting the #SKTD command does not close the GPRS context, leaving it active for next connections until an AT#GPRS=0 command is issued or the network requests a context closing.

3.10.8.6 Close the Socket without deactivating the context

The connection can be closed because of:

- remote host TCP connection close

- socket inactivity timeout

- Terminal Equipment by issuing the escape sequence "+++"

- Network deactivation

Note: if in the raw data to be sent there's an escape sequence, then the TE must work it out and sent it in a different fashion to guarantee that the connection is not closed.

The pause time is defined in the parameter S12. On the reception of an escape sequence if the socket was opened with the AT#SKTD

command, the GM862-GPS closes the connection, does not deactivate the GPRS context and returns to command mode issuing the NO CARRIER code.

3.10.9 Enhanced Easy GPRS Incoming Connection

The New Enhanced Easy GPRS feature provides a way to accept incoming TCP/UDP connections and keep the same IP address after a connection, leaving the GPRS context active.

The steps that will be required to open a socket in listen, waiting for connection requests from remote hosts and accept these request connections only from a selected set of hosts, then close it without closing the GRPS context are:

a) configuring the GPRS Access b) configuring the embedded TCP/IP stack behaviour; c) defining the Internet Peer that can contact this device (firewall settings) d) request the GPRS context to be activated e) request the socket connection to be opened in listen f) receive connection requests g) exchange data h) close the TCP connection while keeping the GPRS active.

All these steps are achieved through AT commands. As for common modem interface, two logical status are involved: command mode and

data traffic mode.

- In Command Mode (CM), some AT commands are provided to configure the Data Module Internet stack and to start up the data traffic.

- In data traffic mode (Socket Mode, SKTM), the client can send/receive a raw data stream which will be encapsulated in the previously configured TCP / IP packets which

Quad Band GPS Data Terminal Module

will be sent to the other side of the network and viceversa. Control plane of ongoing socket connection is deployed internally to the module.

3.10.9.1 Defining the Internet Peer that can contact this device (firewall settings)

The GM862-GPS has an internal Firewall that controls the behaviour of the incoming connections to the module.

The firewall applies for INCOMING (listening) connections, OUTGOING connections will be always done regardless of the firewall settings.

Firewall General policy is DROP, therefore all packets that are not included into an ACCEPT chain rule will be silently discarded.

When a packet incomes from the IP address <incoming IP>, the firewall chain rules will be scanned for matching with the following criteria:

<incoming IP> & <net mask> = <ip_address> ?

if the result is yes, then the packet is accepted and the rule scan is finished, otherwise the next chain is taken into account until the end of the rules when the packet is silently dropped if no matching was found.

For example, let assume we want to accept connections only from our devices which are on the IP addresses ranging from :

197.158.1.1 to 197.158.255.255

We need to add the following chain to the firewall: AT#FRWL=1,"197.158.1.1","255.255.0.0"

Rev. 0

3.10.9.2 Request the socket connection to be opened in listen

With the new command #SKTL (socket Listen) the TCP request to start listening for connection requests is executed:

- GM862-GPS opens a listening socket on the port specified, waiting for incoming TCP connections (depending on the parameter request) with the internet hosts

The parameters that shall be specified are the local port where packets shall be received, the type of socket and the closing behaviour.

3.10.9.3 Receiving connection requests

Once the connection request is received, the module reports an indication of connection with an unsolicited code

+CONN FROM: <remote address>

- then connection is accepted and once it is up the module reports the code:

CONNECT

From this moment the data incoming in the serial port is packet and sent to the Internet host, while the data received from the host is serialised and flushed to the Terminal Equipment.

Pag.28 of 79

TECHNICAL MANUAL

Telit GM862-GPS

Quad Band GPS Data Terminal Module

Note that the connections request are FIRST screened in the firewall, then if they are accepted they pass to the listening socket; therefore only hosts that are in the ACCEPT chain rules of the firewall can induce a connection request, the other host requests will be silently discarded without any indication to the remote host (for security reasons).

Once the connection is received and closed, the socket is not anymore in listen. If the application needs again to be in listen, then it shall send again the socket listen #SKTL command.

In the same manner, when disconnecting the #SKTL command does not close the GPRS context, leaving it active for next connections until an AT#GPRS=0 command is issued or the network requests a context closing.

3.10.10 Known limitations

The implementation of the EASY GPRS feature has the following known limitations:

- Only one socket can be opened at a time, no multiple socket connections can be made;

- Only one connection request can be accepted at a time, subsequent requests will be silently discarded.

- Only the first GPRS context is associated with this feature;

- It is taken for granted that external processor will be able to handle at least a limited v.24 implementation: RTS, CTS and, highly recommended, DCD lines; this because software flow control is not applicable to the feature;

- Due to the particularity of this feature, the flow control of both the directions uplink and downlink is interlocked

3.11 Jammed Detect & Report Extension

3.11.1 Overview

The Jammed Detect & Report feature allows a Telit GM862-GPS to detect the presence of

a disturbing device such as a Communication Jammer and give indication to the user and/or send a report of that to the network.

This feature can be very important in alarm, security and safety applications that rely on the module for the communications. In these applications, the presence of a Jammer device can compromise the whole system reliability and functionality and therefore shall be recognized and reported either to the local system for countermeasure actions or to the network providing remote actions.

An example scenario could be an intrusion detection system that uses the module for sending the alarm indication for example with an SMS to the system owner, and a thief incomes using a Jammer to prevent any communication between the GSM module and the network.

In such a case, the module detects the Jammer presence even before the break in and can trigger an alarm siren, other communication devices (PSTN modem) or directly report this condition to the network that can provide further security services for example sending SMS to the owner or police. Obviously this last service depends also from network infrastructure support and some networks may not support it.

3.12 Easy Script Extension - Python interpreter

3.12.1 Overview

This feature is available only on the Telit GM862-GPS.

The Easy Script Extension is a feature that allows to drive the modem "internally" writing the controlling application directly in a nice high level language: Python.

The Easy Script Extension is aimed at low complexity applications where the application was usually done by a small microcontroller that managed some I/O pins and the GM862GPS through the AT command interface.

A schematic of such a configuration can be:

In order to eliminate this external controller, and further simplify the programming of the sequence of operations, inside the GM862-GPS it is included:

- Python script interpreter engine v. 1.5.2+

- around 3MB of Non Volatile Memory room for the user scripts and data

- 1.5 MB RAM reserved for Python engine usage

3.13 Python implementation description

Python scripts are text files, it is possible to run one Python script in the Telit GM862-GPS.

The Python script is stored in NVM inside the Telit GM862-GPS, there's a file system inside the GM862-GPS that allows to write and read files with different names on one single level (no subdirectories are supported).

The Python script is executed in a task inside the Telit GM862-GPS at the lowest priority, making sure this does not interfere with GPRS/GSM normal operations. This allows serial ports, protocol stack etc. to run independently from the Python script.

The Python script interacts with the Telit GM862-GPS Python functionality through four build-in interfaces.

Figure 6 Python script interaction scheme

The MDM interface is the most important one. It allows Python script to send AT commands, receive responses and unsolicited indications, send data to the network and receive data from the network during connections.

It is quite the same as the usual serial port interface in the Telit GM862-GPS. The difference is that this interface is not a real serial port but just an internal software bridge between Python and mobile internal AT command handling engine.

All AT commands working in the Telit GM862-GPS are working in this software interface as well. Some of them have no meaning on this interface, such as those regarding serial port settings.

Telit GM862-GPS

Quad Band GPS Data Terminal Module

The usual concept of flow control keeps its meaning over this interface, but it's managed internally.

The SER interface allows Python script to read from and write to the REAL, physical serial port where usually the AT command interface resides, for example to read NMEA information from a GPS device. When Python is running this serial port is free to be used by Python script because it is not used as AT command interface since the AT parser is mapped into the internal virtual serial port. No flow control is available from Python on this port.

The GPIO interface allows Python script to handle general purpose input output faster than through AT commands, skipping the command parser and going directly to control the pins.

The MOD interface is a collection of useful functions.

For the debug, the print command is directly forwarded on the IIC_HW (pin 40 IIC_HW_SDA and pin 42 IIC_HW_SCL).

3.13.1 Python core supported features

The Python core version is 1.5.2+ (string methods added to 1.5.2). You can use all Python statements and almost all Python built-in types and functions. The following are not supported:

complex; float; long; docstring.

Available modules are

marshal, imp, __main__, __builtin__, sys md5

first is the number of bits per char (7 or 8), then the parity setting (N - none, E- even, Oodd) and the number of stop bits (1 or 2). Default is "8N1"

Return value is a Python integer which is -1 if an error occurred otherwise is 1. Example: b = SER.SetSpeed('115200') sets serial port speed to 115200, assigning return value to b.

3.13.4 GPIO built-in module

GPIO built-in module is the interface between Python core and module internal general purpose input output direct handling.

You need to use GPIO built-in module if you want to set GPIO values from Python script and to read GPIO values from Python script.

You can control GPIO pins also by sending internal 'AT#GPIO' commands using the MDM module, but using the GPIO module is faster because no command parsing is involved, therefore it's use is suggested.

Note that Python core does not verify if the pins are already used for other purposes (IIC module or SPI module) by other functions, it's the applicator responsibility to ensure that no conflict over pins occurs.

If you want to use GPIO built-in module you need to import it first: import GPIO then you can use GPIO built-in module methods like in the following example: a = GPIO.getIOvalue(5) b = GPIO.setIOvalue(4, 1) which reads GPIO 5 value and sets GPIO 4 to output with value 1. More details about GPIO built-in module methods are in the following paragraphs.

Rev. 0

3.13.4.1 GPIO.setIOvalue(GPIOnumber, value)

Sets output value of a GPIO pin. First input parameter GPIOnumber is a Python integer which is the number of the GPIO. Second input parameter value is a Python integer which is the ouput value. It can be 0 or

Return value is a Python integer which is -1 if an error occurred otherwise is 1. Example: b = GPIO.setIOvalue(4, 1) sets GPIO 4 to output with value 1, assigning return value to b.

3.13.4.2 GPIO.getIOvalue(GPIOnumber)

Gets input or output value of a GPIO. Input parameter GPIOnumber is a Python integer which is the number of the GPIO. Return value is a Python integer which is -1 if an error occurred otherwise is input or

output value. It is 0 or 1. Example: a = GPIO.getIOvalue(5) gets GPIO 5 input or output value, assigning return value to b.

3.13.4.3 GPIO.setIOdir(GPIOnumber, value, direction)

Sets direction of a GPIO. First input parameter GPIOnumber is a Python integer which is the number of the GPIO.

Pag.40 of 79

TECHNICAL MANUAL

Telit GM862-GPS

Quad Band GPS Data Terminal Module

Second input parameter value is a Python integer which is the ouput value. It can be 0 or

1. It is only used if direction value is 1.

Third input parameter value is a Python integer which is the direction value. It can be 0 for input or 1 for output.

Return value is a Python integer which is -1 if an error occurred otherwise is 1. Example: c = GPIO.setIOdir(4, 0, 0) sets GPIO 4 to input with value having no meaning, assigning return value to c.

3.13.4.4 GPIO.getIOdir(GPIOnumber)

Gets direction of a GPIO. Input parameter GPIOnumber is a Python integer which is the number of the GPIO. Return value is a Python integer which is -1 if an error occurred otherwise is direction

value. It is 0 for input or 1 for output. Example: d = GPIO.getIOdir(7) gets GPIO 7 direction, assigning return value to d.

3.13.5 MOD built-in module

MOD built-in module is the interface between Python and module miscellaneous functions. You need to use MOD built-in module if you want to generate timers in Python script, to

reactivate Python from Python script, etc. If you want to use MOD built-in module you need to import it first: import MOD then you can use MOD built-in module methods like in the following example: MOD.reactivatePython() which reactivates Python after next exiting from Python script. More details about MOD built-in module methods are in the following paragraphs.

Rev. 0

3.13.5.1 MOD.secCounter()

Returns seconds elapsed since 1 January 1970. This method is useful for timers generation in Python script. No input parameter. Return value is a Python integer which is the value of seconds elapsed since 1 January

1970.

Example: a = MOD.secCounter() returns seconds elapsed since 1 January 1970.

3.13.5.2 MOD.sleep(sleeptime)

Blocks Python script execution for a given time returning the resources to the system. Input parameter timesleep is a Python integer which is the time in 1/10 s to block script

execution. No return value. Example: MOD.sleep(15) blocks Python script for 1.5 s.

3.13.5.3 MOD.reactivatePython()

Reactivates Python script after exiting from actual Python script. This method is useful for Python script restart. The effect of this method is to restart the complete procedure of selecting the Python script

to be executed and of executing it. If you want this method to have the expected effect you need to exit actual Python script

as soon as possible after calling it (for example braking while or for loops). No input parameter. No return value. Example: MOD.reactivatePython() reactivates Python after next exiting from Python script.

3.13.6 IIC built-in module

IIC built-in module is an implementation on the Python core of the IIC bus Master (No Multi-Master) using the "bit-banging" technique.

You need to use IIC built-in module if you want to create one or more IIC bus on the available GPIO pins. This IIC bus handling module is mapped on creation on two GPIO pins that will become the Serial Data and Serial Clock pins of the bus. It can be multiinstantiated (you can create more than one IIC bus over different pins) and the pins used must not be used for other purposes.

Note that Python core does not verify if the pins are already used for other purposes (SPI module or GPIO module) by other functions, it's the applicator responsibility to ensure that no conflict over pins occurs.

If you want to use IIC built-in module you need to import it first: import IIC then you can create the new bus over the GPIO pins (for example over the pins GPIO3,

GPIO4) and then use IIC built-in module methods like in the following example: IICbus = IIC.new(3,4)

IICbus.init() res = IICbus.send('test') c = IICbus.sendbyte(0x0d) d = IICbus.readbyte() which sends 'test' followed by CR and receives data waiting for one second. NOTE that you must provide external pull-up on SDA line since the line is working as open

collector, SCLK instead is driven with a complete push pull. More details about IIC built-in module object methods are in the following paragraphs.

Rev. 0

3.13.6.1 IIC.new(SDA_pin, SCL_pin)

Creates a new IIC bus object on the GPIO pins number. Input parameter SDA_pin, SCL_pin are Python bytes which are the GPIO pin number

where the SDA (Serial DAta) and SCL (Serial CLock) lines are mapped. Return value is the Python custom IIC bus object pointer which then shall be used to

interface with the IIC bus created. Example: bus1 = IIC.new(3,4)

bus2 = IIC.new(5,6) This creates two IIC bus, one over the GPIO3 and GPIO4 and one over the GPIO5 and

GPIO6. Available pins for the IIC bus are GPIO3 - GPIO13, while GPIO1 and GPIO2 are not

available for IIC.

3.13.6.2 IIC object method: init()

Does the first pin initialisation on the IIC bus previously created. Return value is a Python integer which is -1 if an error occurred otherwise is 1. Example: a = bus1.init()

3.13.6.3 IIC object method: sendbyte(byte)

Sends a byte to the IIC bus previously created. Input parameter byte is a Python byte which is the byte to be sent to the IIC bus. The start and stop condition on the bus are added by the function. Return value is a Python integer which is -1 if an error occurred otherwise is 1 the byte has

been acknowledged by the slave. Example: a = bus1.sendbyte(123) sends byte 123 to the IIC bus , assigning return result value to a.

Rev. 0

3.13.6.4 IIC object method: send(string)

Sends a string to the IIC bus previously created. Input parameter string is a Python string which is the string to send to the IIC bus. Return value is a Python integer which is -1 if an error occurred otherwise is 1 if all bytes

of the string have been acknowledged by the slave. Example: a = bus1.send('test') sends string 'test' to the IIC bus , assigning return result value to a.

3.13.6.5 IIC object method: dev_read(addr, len)

Receives a string of len bytes from IIC bus device at address addr. Return value is a Python string which is containing data received. Example: a = bus1.read(114,10) receives a string of 10 bytes from IIC bus device at address 114, assigning it to a.

3.13.6.6 IIC object method: dev_write(addr, string)

Sends a string to the IIC bus device at address addr. Return value is a Python string which is 1 if data is acknowledged correctly, -1 otherwise. Example: a = bus1.dev_write(114,'123456789') sends the string '123456789' to the IIC bus device at address 114, assigning the result to

start, assigning the result to a.

3.13.7 SPI built-in module

SPI built-in module is an implementation on the Python core of the SPI bus Master using the "bit-banging" technique.

You need to use SPI built-in module if you want to create one or more SPI bus on the available GPIO pins. This SPI bus handling module is mapped on creation on three or more GPIO pins that will become the Serial Data In/Out and Serial Clock pins of the bus, plus a number of optional chip select pins up to 8. It can be multi-instantiated (you can create more than one SPI bus over different pins) and the pins used must not be used for other purposes.

Note that Python core does not verify if the pins are already used for other purposes (IIC module or GPIO module) by other functions, it's the applicator responsibility to ensure that no conflict over pins occurs.

If you want to use SPI built-in module you need to import it first: import SPI then you can create the new bus over the GPIO pins (for example over the pins GPIO3,

GPIO4, GPIO5 ) and then use SPI built-in module methods like in the following example:

SPIbus = SPI.new(3,4,5)

SPIbus.init(0,0) res = SPIbus.send('test') c = SPIbus.sendbyte(0x0d) d = SPIbus.readbyte()

which sends 'test' followed by CR and receives data waiting for one second. More details about SPI built-in module object methods are in the following paragraphs.

corresponding Slave Select line is mapped. Up to 8 slave select lines can be defined (also none if only 1 slave is used).

Return value is the Python custom SPI bus object pointer which then shall be used to interface with the SPI bus created.

Example: bus3 = SPI.new(3,4,5) bus4 = SPI.new(6,7,8,9,10) This creates two SPI bus, one over the GPIO3, GPIO4, GPIO5 and one over the GPIO6,

GPIO7, GPIO8, GPIO9, GPIO10 where the GPIO9 is the Slave 0 select and GPIO10 is the Slave 1 select pin.

Available pins for the SPI bus are GPIO3 - GPIO13, while GPIO1 and GPIO2 are not available for SPI.

3.13.7.2 SPI object method: init(CPOL, CPHA)

Does the first pin initialisation on the SPI bus previously created. Bus clock polarity is controlled by CPOL value: CPOL = 0 - clock polarity low CPOL = 1 - clock polarity high Bus clock phase transmission is controlled by CPHA value: CPHA = 0 - data bit is clocked/latched on the first edge of the SCLK. CPHA = 1 - data bit is clocked/latched on the second edge of the SCLK.

3.13.9 Executing a Python script

The steps required to have a script running by the python engine of the module are:

- write the python script

- download the python script into the module NVM

- enable the python script

- execute it..

3.13.10 Write Python script

A Python script is a simple text file, it can be written with any text editor but for your convenience a complete Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is included in a

software package that Telit provides called Telit Python Package.

Remembering the supported features described in 3.13.1, it is simple to write the script and test it directly from the IDE.

The following is the "Hello Word" short Python script that sends the simplest AT command to the AT command parser and waits for response, then ends.

import MDM print 'Hello World!' result = MDM.send('AT\r', 0) print result c = MDM.receive(10) print c

3.13.11 Download Python script

The Script can be downloaded in the module using the #WSCRIPT command. In order to guarantee your company know-how, you have the option to Hide the script text

so that the #RSCRIPT command does not return the text of the script and keeps it "confidential", you can see only the name of the script with the #LSCRIPT command.

Remember that if you chose to hide the script text it's your responsibility to keep information on what is executing the module, for example by naming the script depending from the application and version of the script.

In order to download the script, first you have to choose a name for your script in the module taking care that:

- it must have extension .py;

- the maximum allowed length is 16 characters;

- script name is case sensitive.

Then you have to find out the exact size in bytes of the script (for example right clicking on the file and selecting “properties”)

The script download is done regardless the previous serial settings at 115200 baud 8-N-1 with hardware flow control active.

For example (script name and size are examples): AT#WSCRIPT=”a.py”,110 wait for the prompt >>> and use “Send Text file” with ASCII Setup: Send line ends with line feeds in

HyperTerminal enabled.

Quad Band GPS Data Terminal Module

Wait for download result: OK.

3.13.12 Enable Python script

Select the Python script which will be executed (the enabled script) from the next start-up and on using the AT#ESCRIPT command.

First choose the script you want to enable between the ones you downloaded: AT#LSCRIPT? can help you checking the names of the scripts; for example: AT#ESCRIPT=”a.py” Wait for enable result: OK.

3.13.13 Execute Python script

The Python script you downloaded to module and enabled is executed at every module power on if the DTR line is sensed LOW (2.8V at the GM862-GPS DTR pin - RS232 signals are inverted -) at start-up, (then no AT command interface is connected to the modem port) and if the script name you enabled matches one of the script names of the scripts you downloaded.

The Python script is executed with –v -S -OO options. In order to gain again the AT command interface on the modem physical port (for example

to update locally a new script) the module shall be powered on with the DTR line HIGH (0V at the GM862-GPS DTR pin) so that the script is not executed and the Python engine is stopped.

The real execution of the Python script is delayed from the power on due to the time needed by Python to parse the script. The longer is the script, the longer is this delay.

Note that only the running script is compiled at run time, all the others that this script may include are compiled once and the compiled result is saved in the NVM as a file with extension .pyo.

This delay can be greatly reduced with a simple stratagem:

- type your script normally, and include the main loop in a function, for example "main()", save it to the NVM of the module with a known name, for example appl.py

- write a new script that includes the previous file object, for example "include appl", and this file should call only the main function of the appl.py script, for example appl.main().

In this way the first time the script is executed the imported files will be compiled and the result saved as compiled .pyo files (don't delete them during normal operations, but remember to delete them if you change the corresponding .py script otherwise your changes will not take effect). From the next start-up and on the imported files will not be anymore compiled and script execution delay is greatly reduced.

This stratagem is useful also for long complex scripts, that may run out of memory during compilation; splitting the script into several smaller scripts containing part of the functions/objects definitions will separate the compilation and allow for much bigger script usage.

3.13.14 Debug Python script

The debug of the active Python script can be done both on the emulated environment of the Telit Python Package (refer to its documentation) or directly on the SSC port (available on pins 38, 44 and 48 ).

Now you can see all Python outputs to stdout and stderr:

- Python information messages (for example the version);

- Python error information;

- results of all Python “print” statements.

NOTE : In order to decode the strings sent out on SSC port is necessary to use an external adapter and a special SW (Python Debug).
