ZentriOS-S-3.0 Command Reference

This page provides a list of ZentriOS-S BLE commands with a full description of how to use each command.

Command Editing

The ZentriOS-S command mode is very simple. The backspace erases characters, but no other editing is provided. Backspace operation requires vt100 terminal emulation or similar.

Documentation Format

Many of the ZentriOS BLE responses shown in the examples on this page were captured with system print level (sy p) = all, and system command header enabled (sy c h) = true. These settings are provided to make it easy for a host microcontroller to parse responses by examining response headers. See Serial Interface, Response Format.

Documentation for each command is provided in the format shown below.

con

Connect to a peripheral

Description

Connect to a peripheral with the specified index number. The index number is obtained from the output of the scan command.

This command blocks until either a successful connection is made or the command times out. It then returns a status indicating success or failure.

The central can connect to only one peripheral at a time.

Syntax

> con <index> [<timeout>]

where:

<index> - the index obtained from the scan command output
<timeout> optional - timeout in seconds before con command fails and returns error code "Timeout"
<timeout> range is 1 second to 1000 second. Default: 10 seconds

Return status is as follows:

Status	Description
`Invalid argument`	An argument is incorrect
`Command failed`	The device already has a connection to a peripheral
`Timeout`	Connection establishment timed out
`Security mismatch`	If the remote side asks for encryption and it is not enabled locally, or if encryption is enabled and key does not match

gdi

GPIO direction

Description

Set the direction and initial state of a general purpose I/O pin (configured as stdio). See Peripherals.

To set multiple GPIO directions in a single command, see gdis.

Syntax

> gdi <GPIO#> <direction> where

<GPIO#> - The GPIO number
<direction> - may be any one of the following types.
- in : Input high impedance
- ipd : Input, pull-down
- ipu : Input, pull-up
- olo : Output initialized to low value
- ohi : Output initialized to high value
- hiz : High impedance

gdis

Set direction for multiple GPIOs.

Description

Set the direction for all GPIOs at once, using a list of settings.

This command sets the GPIO to the stdio function and sets the direction as specified.

The list is a string with a single digit representing the direction for each GPIO, with the GPIO 0 direction at the left.

Directions are enumerated as shown in the table below:

Enumerator	I/O Type Description
0	Input, with pull-up (see gdi `ipu`)
1	Input, pull-down (see gdi `ipd`)
2	Input, high-impedance (see gdi `in`)
3	Output, push-pull
4	Reserved
5	Reserved
6	For a `stdio` function GPIO, set the GPIO function to `none` (deregister it), otherwise do nothing, acting as a placeholder.

Note: there must be exactly one enumerated value for each GPIO. For a GPIO you do not wish to set to a STDIO function, use the placeholder value 6. Supplying the wrong number of values results in an Invalid argument response.

For example, in the case of the Wahoo evaluation board, there are 15 GPIOs, numbered GPIO 0 to GPIO 14. See Peripherals, GPIO Functions and Pins. You must supply 15 values in the gdis argument.

To set Wahoo GPIOs 6 and 9 to pull-down inputs, and GPIOs 10, 11 and 14 to outputs, use the following command:

gdis 666666166133663

To deregister all GPIOs set to a STDIO, supply the value 6 for every GPIO. For example, in the case of the Wahoo:

gdis 666666666666666

To set and get multiple GPIO values, see gses and gges. To set individual GPIO function, direction and value, see gfu, gdi, gse and gge. To view a list of GPIO functions, use the command get gp u.

GPIO function

Description

Configure a GPIO with the specified function. A function may only be assigned to a pin that has a function set to none i.e. the pin is not already assigned.
Factory reset is an exception: it may be moved to any pin, but not de-assigned by setting to none.
A list of available functions is shown in the following table.
Note: A save and reboot is required after configuring a function, with the exception of the none, stdio and pwm functions.

Function	Description
`activity`	BLE and UART activity indicator. Can act as a system power off, if the `activity` GPIO pin is connected to the enable of a power regulator. See Power Management.
`ble_blink`	GPIO toggles regularly when there is activity on the wireless BLE interface. Connect this GPIO to an LED to indicate wireless activity
`conn_gpio`	Connection indication GPIO (output) --- Logic 0 : Not connected to any other BLE device --- Logic 1 : At least one connection is established
`conn_gpio_n`	Active low connection indication GPIO (output) --- Logic 0 : At least one connection is established --- Logic 1 : Not connected to any other BLE device
`factory`	Factory reset pin. May be moved, but NOT deassigned.
`mode_sel`	Selects bus serial mode (input). If `mode_sel` configured, bus mode selection is manual. If `mode_sel` not configured, bus mode selection is automatic. See Serial Interface. Depending on setting of variable: bu s c (bus serial control) as edge or level, `mode_sel` works as follows: edge: --- mode toggles on rising edge level: --- low level - COMMAND_MODE --- high level - STREAM_MODE
`none`	GPIO is not assigned to any function (high impedance)
`pwm`	Requires ZENTRI-ANALOG or ZENTRI-TRUCONNECT product. GPIO configured for use with the PWM command. Available only for a GPIO with a PWM connected.
`reserved`	GPIO not available to user. Do not connect to this pin.
`shutdown`	Requires ZENTRI-TRUCONNECT product. GPIO has two possible functions. --- If `activity` GPIO is not configured, acts as edge triggered sleep/wake toggle --- if `activity` GPIO is configured as described, and `shutdown` is asserted for more than 1 second, shuts down module. See Power Management.
`sleepwake`	Requires ZENTRI-TRUCONNECT product. GPIO level controls sleep or wake - sleep low, wake high. See Power Management.
`speaker`	Requires ZENTRI-ANALOG or ZENTRI-TRUCONNECT product. GPIO configured for use with 'beep' command.
	This works only with a GPIO connected to a speaker
	(GPIO 13 on Wahoo Eval Board).
`status_led`	GPIO is configured to operate as general status indicator (output) to show the connection status. The blink pattern is controlled with the sy i s variable. Works with any LED on the Wahoo EVB - GPIO 10, 11 or 14.
`stdio`	GPIO is configured as a standard IO (input/output/others). Use the following commands to control pins configured as stdio: --- gdi: configure direction & configure initialization value --- gdis: configure multiple GPIO `stdio` functions and directions --- gse: set the output level --- gses: set multiple GPIO levels --- gge: get the input level --- gges: get multiple GPIO levels
`stream_gpio`	GPIO to indicate the serial bus is set to STREAM mode (output) --- Logic 1: STREAM mode --- Logic 0: COMMAND mode
`stream_gpio_n`	Active low GPIO to indicate the serial bus is set to STREAM mode (output) --- Logic 1: COMMAND mode --- Logic 0: STREAM mode
`user_cts`*	The user UART CTS function (input) is assigned automatically to GPIO 4 when flow control is enabled by the set ua f 1 command. Any other function configured for this pin is overridden.
`user_rts`*	The user UART RTS function (output) is assigned automatically to GPIO 3 when flow control is enabled by the set ua f 1 command. Any other function configured for this pin is overridden.
`user_rx`	GPIO will be used as User UART RX (input).
`user_tx`	GPIO will be used as User UART TX (output).

NOTES:

^ This function may be assigned to only one pin at any time
- This function is auto-assigned and cannot be manually controlled See also: gdi, gge, gse, bu s c, gp u, Peripherals - GPIOs

pwm

Control a Pulse Width Modulator

Description

The pwm command controls a pulse width modulator GPIO. See Peripherals. The GPIO must be set to the pwm function. See gfu.

Syntax

> pwm <gpio> <[low_count high_count]|[stop]> The internal PWM clock rate is 128 * 1024 = 131072 Hz.

The PWM signal is high for high_count clock cycles, and low for low_count clock cycles.

The maximum value of high_count + low_count is 1023, so the minimum frequency is about 128Hz and the maximum frequency is 65536Hz.

Note: It is not possible to achieve a duty cycle of 100%. To set a GPIO high or low, use gfu to set the GPIO to the stdio function, use gdi to set the direction to ohi or olo, then use gse to set the value to 1 or 0.

Duty cycle is expressed as a fraction of 1.0 in the equations below.

high_count =     131072 x duty_cycle
             ---------------------------
                      frequency

low_count  = 131072 x (1.0 - duty_cycle)
             ---------------------------
                      frequency

For a 0.5 (50%) duty cycle:

high_count = low_count = 131072 x 0.5

rbmode

Change remote device bus mode

Description

Change the bus mode of a remote ZentriOS BLE device operating as a peripheral. The rbmode command enables a ZentriOS BLE device operating as a central (and connected to a remote peripheral) to :

read the bus mode of the remote peripheral
set the bus mode of the remote peripheral by changing the BLE mode characteristic of the remote

If the bus mode of the remote peripheral is set to remote COMMAND mode, the remote peripheral device can be controlled as if it was a local device. To control the remote peripheral, the controlling module connects as a central to the (remote) peripheral and then:

issues rbmode remote to set the bus mode of the remote peripheral to remote COMMAND mode
switches itself to stream mode, either with the mode_sel GPIO (see gfu), or by issuing the the str command
issues one or more commands to the remote peripheral as a stream, and reads the response(s)

For information on bus modes, see Serial Bus Modes, Serial Interface.

For a description of remote command mode, see BLE Services, Zentri Streaming Service. For examples of programming a mobile app to control and monitor a ZentriOS-S device, see the Communicating via BLE application example.

For a demonstration of remote control of a ZentriOS BLE device, see the Bus Mode Selection and Remote Control application note.

Notes:

The bus mode of the remote peripheral device cannot be changed to local COMMAND mode using rbmode.
The remote device must have remote access enabled. See sy r e

scan

Scan for nearby peripherals

Description

Scan for nearby BLE peripherals. Scan mode may be low or high, which determines the scan rate. If no scan mode argument is supplied, the default is high.

Scanning continues for a fixed period which is 300 seconds for low and 30 seconds for high. For peripherals in range, the scan details are listed with an index number and an address. The index number is used with the con command to connect to the peripheral.

By default, scan is restricted to peripherals with the service UUID specified in the variable bl s u. Use the scan argument all to remove this restriction.

Issue scan off to turn off scanning immediately.

The scan command asynchronously sends scan results to the serial interface. If the system print level sy p >= 3, asynchronous messages are shown and responses indicating a device is detected may be interleaved with subsequent commands and responses.

To prevent asynchronous scan results appearing, set sy p < 3 and issue scan results to view results.

Peripherals with the service UUID specified by bl s u are returned in scan results by default. To scan for peripherals advertising with a specific service UUID, provide the service UUID as an argument to the scan command. Or, to scan for all BLE peripherals, use the all parameter.

Each peripheral detected during scanning is listed only once in scan results. To enable duplicate result listing, use the dup parameter. This parameter is useful for obtaining real-time information about the signal strength (proximity) of a peripheral.

Syntax

> scan [<low / high> <all / service_uuid> <dup>] | [<off / results>]Examples:

scan
scan low
scan high
scan off
scan dup
