WiLoader Revision G
In order to inform the user, whether data sent from the terminal has been received by WiLoader,
an Acknowledgment (Ack) mechanism has been provided. This mechanism enables the user to
know if the connection has been lost and WiLoader hasn’t received the sent bytes. The Ack
mechanism does not exist for bytes sent by MCU to WiLoader, so the MCU can’t be certain
that its sent data has been received by the computer or smartphone software.!
Also, given that boot-loaders also use the serial port, while using a boot-loader the user can’t
send serial data from the terminal and is going to encounter an error message displayed by
WiLoaderFX.!
Also, if the UART port has already been disabled by the user from the setting tab, the data sent
from the MCU to WiLoader will not be sent to the computer, and if the information is sent from
the terminal tab, the user will encounter an error message and the bytes will not be sent to
MCU.!
In order to use other network communication softwares such as SocketTest for sending and
receiving serial data by WiLoader’s UART port, the user must enter the correct IP address and
port number. The IP can be obtained from the upper section of WiLoaderFX software and the
port must be set to 80.!
Note: When using other software for communicating with WiLoader’s UART, naturally there will
be no way to use the Ack mechanism, and the user will need to manage packets received by
WiLoader.(For example, by adding the Ack mechanism at software level)!
