Firmware fixes and features:
1. Created new set of sensor commands: set q sensor <mask> and set q sensor <value>. Also, sensor
power can now be configured and applied either only when sampling of sensor inputs occur or at
power up and removed upon power down and sleep.
2. Added a new FTP client mode to get and put files to a FTP server. Files retrieved from the server are
sent over the uart and files created from the uart are stored on the FTP server.
3. A new scan output format is implemented in addition to the default output format. This new
microprocessor friendly format makes string processing of the scan output very easy.
4. A new uart heartbeat feature is implemented to notify the embedded microprocessor of the state of
the WiFly module. The heartbeat message is sent over the uart when the WiFly module is in data
mode and not connected to any remote host.
5. Fixed a bug in the set uart instant <rate> command wherein the WiFly module would not return an
AOK over telnet. Now when this command is issued, it returns an AOK over Telnet and does not
exit command mode.
6. Enabled scanning for wireless networks remotely when in adhoc mode. When the scan command is
issued, adhoc is temporarily disabled and results of the scan are sent over telnet.
7. The behavior of the auto connect timer has changed.
8. Added the ability to set RTC from console
9. Added a feature wherein the module can be put to sleep using GPIO 8

 The firmware checksum the image (and compare to the stored values in the file) now before
committing it to flash and updating the boot record after download. If the checksum fails firmware
prints “UPDATE FAILED” and deletes the image.

Fixes
 Passphrase is now accepts up to 64 chars. A bug introduced in 2.19 causes the wlan passphrase to be
truncated to 32 characters (making it impossible to enter a 32 byte HEX literal PSK )
 Fixed DHCP status when link to Access Point (AP) is lost. It was still reporting DHCP OK. It is
now cleared and new DHCP session will start once AP link is reestablished )
 Fixed a bug whereby UDP receive becomes disabled (no packets are received) if AP-LOST and then
re-established.
 Improved handling of AP disconnect, and AP link lost due to linkmon timeout or other disconnect
 If TCP connection was active, connection could be in hung/incorrect state, and once AP is regained
in some cases this would not recover. This has been fixed in this version. Refer section “set ip flags
<value>” for more information.
