7 File System

The RNWF11 provides an internal storage for storing x509 root certificates and keys to use with the Transport Layer Security (TLS).

The secured certificate store is of 64 KB in size and it is write and erase only storage space. The certificates flashed in this memory is only readable through the device firmware.

The certificate store can be accessed through the AT commands. For more details on AT commands, refer AT Commands

The manual certificate/key flashing would need a serial terminal application with X-Modem/Y-Modem file transfer support. In order to simplify this process the firmware release package includes a python based utility which can Flash these files through a simple CLI

The utility also support Send To option on Windows operating system where these files can be flashed into RNWF11 device through the right click options.

By default the RNWF11 modules include following Root Certificates in the certificate store for easier could connectivity.

Setup Details – The certificate and key utility uses the AT command interface serial port of the RNWF11 module. The PC companion mode of the setup must be used to use the certificate and key utility.
