ETRX358USB Zigbee & Thread Compatible Radio for IoT Applications In a USB Stick Form Factor The ETRX358USB is a USB-compliant device peripheral designed to enable USB host devices to connect to the Internet of Things over 802.15.4 Networks. The in-field upgradeable firmware allows interaction with either ZigBee® or THREAD wireless mesh networks. Featuring the Telegesis™ ETRX3588 wireless mesh networking module (based on the EM3588 System-on-Chip (SOC) from Silicon Labs Inc.), the ETRX358USB takes advantage of a powerful 32-bit ARM® processor with 512 kB of flash memory and 64 kB of RAM. A link budget of up to 110 dB is ideal for typical ZigBee and THREAD applications. The devices make use of the standard USB communication device class (CDC) allowing the best possible native driver support across a wide range of operating systems.

These drivers are required for proper device enumeration and are available for Windows (Vista/7/8/10) and Linux from the Silicon Laboratories® website: http://www.silabs.com/product-ETRX358USB Information regarding Zigbee & Thread Mesh networking firmware can be found at: https://www.silabs.com/products/wireless/Pages/mesh-networking-software-tools.aspx 7. Bootloading Firmware Bootloading allows the user to change or upgrade the device firmware via USB serial using the XMODEM protocol. If no application is present on the device, the device will automatically start into bootloader mode. If the device already contains an AT-Command style application firmware, the bootloader may be accessed using the AT+BLOAD command. Once the device is powered, connect to the device using suitable terminal software such as HyperTerminal, PuTTy or Telegesis Terminal. • Baud rate: 19,200 baud • Parity: No • Flow Control: No • Data bits: 8 Sending a Carriage Return character (ASCII: 0x0D) will display the bootloader command prompt. The white LED will also be lit. ETRX3588 Serial Bootloader v0000.06.03 EUI:000D6F000C0A91D7 1. upload ebl 2. run 3. ebl info BL > Press 1. to begin uploading a valid .ebl binary file. An XMODEM (128 Byte) protocol is required to upload the file. Once the upload is complete, pressing 2. will run the application. Note that, if the application does not upload correctly, or the application does not support bootloading, the bootloader will no longer be accessible.
