5.3.1 Session Content

Session files are saved as *.usf files (UniFlash Session File) and includes information about the interface, device, and the session that you want to use. Configurations can be saved and opened in UniFlash to preserve and restore settings, and to maintain a different set of files for different devices.

Session consists of all relevant files for interaction with the target device along with other specific configurations such as target interface, COM port number, device type, and so forth. When a session is created, the following files can be found under the root session directory

  • ./templates: includes all XML files with their default value as follows:
    • CC3xxx_cfg_parameters.xml
    • CC3xxx_template.xml
    • CC3xxx_token.xml
    • GangImageConfig.xml
  • ./filesystem: includes all binary template files with their default value. The binary template files are relevant for configuration files only. By default, no binary template files are created. Only upon modifying parameters, the respective file is created. Possible template files are:
    • macadd.bin
    • ipcfg.ini
    • mode.cfg
    • devname.cfg
    • pmcfg.ini
    • smartconfigkeys.cfg
    • stacfg.ini
    • ap.cfg
    • p2p.cfg
    • dhcpsrv.cfg
    • httpsrv.cfg
    • mdns.cfg
    • pref.net

Session files are saved as *.usf files (UniFlash Session File) and includes information about the interface, device, and the session that you want to use. Configurations can be saved and opened in UniFlash to preserve and restore settings, and to maintain a different set of files for different devices.

Note that upon saving a session, for example, as configname.usf, a directory named configname_session is created in the same folder. This should make it portable in that as long as the file and folder are sent together, the user should be able to open it in UniFlash.

An example of configuration file content is as follows:
