Establishing Communication

Figure 2-3 shows the bare minimum needed to establish communication with the bootloader over UART, which includes sending two bytes with the value 0x55 to let the device detect the baud rate, followed by reading the device response, expecting an ACK if the auto baud rate routine was successful. If the device does not respond to the auto baud bytes, it is possible the device is not in bootloader mode, or the baud rate is not supported.

After a connection is made, any command can be sent to the bootloader. For more details about the bootloader commands, see the respective device family references [1] through [6] in the References section.
