Example: Use the device's .gbl firmware image to update the XBee firmware synchronously

To update the XBee firmware synchronously with Python 3.0, but using the device firmware image already uploaded to Remote Manager, upload the device's *.gbl firmware to Remote Manager:

1. Download the updated firmware file for your device from Digi's support site. This zip file contains the firmware image.

2. Unzip the file and locate the .gbl file inside the unzipped directory.

3. Log in to Remote Manager.

4. Click the Data Services tab.
5. Click Data Files.
6. Click Upload Files; browse and select the *.gbl firmware file to upload it.
7. Send an HTTP SCI request to Remote manager with the path of the .gbl file; see the example below.

import base64
import requests
 
# Location of firmware image on Remote Manager
firmware_path = '~/XBXC.gbl'
 
# Remote Manager device ID of the device being updated
device_id = '00010000-00000000-03526130-70153378' 
 
# Remote Manager username and password
username = "my_remote_manager_username"
password = "my_remote_manager_password"
 
url = 'https://remotemanager.digi.com/ws/sci'
 
# Form update_firmware request
data = """
<sci_request version="1.0">
  <update_firmware filename="firmware.gbl">
    <targets>
      <device id="{}"/>
    </targets>
    <file>{}</file>
  </update_firmware>
</sci_request>
""".format(device_id, firmware_path)
 
# Post request
r = requests.post(url, auth=(username, password), data=data)
if (r.status_code != 200) or ("error" in r.content.decode('utf-8')):
    print("firmware update failed")
else:
    print("firmware update success")
