Scope

This manual mainly describes how to use the PC or external MCU to upgrade software of SIM800

series modules by serial port. This document can apply to SIM800 series modules, including

SIM800L, SIM800H, SIM800, SIM800-WB64, SIM800G and SIM808.

1Upgrade Process

This chapter introduces software upgrade process of SIM800 series modules. The picture below

illustrates this upgrade process: Every time when module is powered on, it will start from the

BOOT ROM. The following picture shows the upgrade process:

Figure 1: Upgrade process

1.1 Start Upgrade Process

1) Make sure the power supply of module is OK and module serial port is connected to the

MAIN port.

2) Reset module, it will start from the BOOT ROM.

The serial port of the module must be set as follows:

115200bps, 8 bit, No parity bit, 1 stop bit, no flow control.

1.2 Synchronization Word Detection（0xB5）

When the module Bootloader program starts, if it receives the 0xb5 byte synchronization word

within 100 ms, it will reply with a 0x5b byte word then the module go into the upgrade mode.

Within 100 ms, if the module does not receive 0xb5 synchronization word, the module will enter

normal mode.

Note: in order to ensure the module receive synchronization byte 0xb5, send the bytes within 100

ms after power on.

Figure 3：Synchronization word detection

1.3 Send Head Information (0x01/0x81)

Command word 0x01 means there is no need to erase the file system of the module, while 0x81

means it needs to erase the file system of the module, Data head contains 128-byte information

that included in the front part of upgrade file.

SIM800 Series_Software Upgrade_Application Note_V1.02 2014-06-30

To upgrade ROM_VIVA file to the module, the frame should include four parts: the frame head

(0x03), 4-bytes data frame length (maximum length is no more than 512 bytes), data fields and

4-bytes data checksum. Checksum calculation method is as following: add all data bytes of the

number, the value of last 4 bytes of the number is the checksum.

1.4 Upgrade ROM_VIVAFile to the Module (0x03)

The frame format is as follows:

CMD Frame Length Data Field Checksum

0x03 4bytes，Low byte in the front data frame 4bytes，Low byte in the front

2.3 Command Line Parameters

<com>:/dev/ttyS0,/dev/ttyS1,/dev/ttyS2,/dev/ttyS3,/dev/ttyUSB0

Represent the:COM1,COM2,COM3,COM4 and the USB serial port

ROM_VIVA filename to upgrade

< format > parameter Y or N

Indicate whether or not format file system.

for example：

./mtkdownload /dev/ttyUSB0 ROM_VIVA Y

Indicate to upgrade SIM800 ROM_VIVA file, and format the file system by the USB serial

port.
