FTP on HL8548 - get data chunks

HI,

I’m using HL8548, and I’m tring to download a file from my server using FTP and save it to the flash on my system. Unfortunately I don’t have enough RAM to save the file so I need to read it by “chunks” of 256 bytes.

I read the AirPrime_HL6_and_HL8_Series_AT_Commands_Interface_Guide_Rev12_0

One option I considered was to use the HL module flash but at page 504 it mentioned that this option is not supported in HL8548. Another solution I tought was to use software flow control, but at page 54 it mentioned that this option is also not available for HL85xxx.

Any other ideas what should I do?

Regards,
Matan.

Matan,

So you do not have hardware flow control implemented then? If not then your options are limited. How big is the file you want to download?

Regards

Matt

Hi Matt,

You right, I don’t have hardware flow control implemented. but I found a way to write fast enough to my flash so I can read the file with just a small buffer. the file is about 75k.

Thanks for your reply,
Matan.
