CURRENT FIRMWARE FEATURES & FIXES
VERSION 2.36/2.45 9/14/2012
• Firmware versions 2.36 and 2.45 are being shipped together. Version 2.36 supports ad hoc mode, while version
2.45 supports soft AP mode. All modules shipped with these firmware versions will run version 2.36 by default to
maintain backward compatibility with previous firmware versions.
You can change the firmware image using the boot image <value> command. After you change the boot image,
you MUST reset the module back to the factory defaults using the factory RESET and reboot commands.
o Wifly_EZX-236.img—Ad hoc mode firmware for RN-171
Wifly_GSX-236.img—Ad hoc mode firmware for RN-131
o Wifly_EZX-245.img—Soft AP mode for RN-171
Wifly_GSX-245.img—Soft AP mode for RN-131
• In firmware version 2.36 (ad hoc version), the auto join feature is enabled to maintain backwards compatibility.
In version 2.45, auto join is disabled and you must explicitly enable auto join mode using the set wlan join 1
command.
• The firmware now supports parity with the set uart flow command.
• Added the i flag to the set wlan channel command, which changes the channel immediately. You can use this
feature to go into AP mode without having to reboot or save the settings.
• In AP mode, de-authentication with the link monitor closes the TCP connection, flushes the UART buffer, and
tries to clear stuck RTS flow control.
• In some cases flow control can get “stuck,” e.g., during a tcp_close or de-authentication in which the UART
cannot transmit a TCP packet and is holding it. Added a fix to attempt to clear the buffer.
• In previous firmware, the associated status is always set even if no clients are joined. In version 2.45, the red
LED correctly shows the status if there are no devices joined.!If you use ALTERNATE IO for associated, it is high
if there are 1 or more clients, and low if there are no clients.
• In AP mode, the module supports 7 connections (DHCP and AP).
• Fixed an issue with the ping command.
