Frame format for MBUS version 1¶
Request from Computer/Answer from Phone:
{ DestDEV, SrcDEV, FrameLength, MsgType, {block}, id, ChkSum }
where DestDEV, SrcDEV: 0x00: phone
0xf8: PC (wakeup msg)
0xe4: PC (normal msg)
FrameLength: length of data frame. Maximal 0x78. Longer
frames are divided into smaller.
MsgType: see List
{block}: main frame
id: request identity number 1..n, incremented after
the request is accepted
ChkSum: XOR on frame's all numbers
Ack from Phone:
{ DestDEV, 0x00, FrameLength, MsgType, {block} , id, ChkSum }
where DestDEV: taken from original request packet
FrameLength: 0x7f, when DestDEV = 0xe4
0x7e, when DestDEV = 0xf8
MsgType: see List. Present only, when DestDEV = 0xf8
{block}: main frame. Present only, when DestDEV = 0xf8
id: request identity number 1..?, corresponding
to the original request packet id
the request is accepted
ChkSum: XOR on frame's all numbers
Update: description above according to the http://www.gadgets.demon.co.uk/nokia21xx/protocol.html.
- Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> wrote:
0x7e is actually registration acknowledge. Both have nothing to do with DestDEV, except that special device needs to be used for registration.
Ack from Computer:
{ 0x00, SrcDEV, 0x7f, id, ChkSum }
where SrcDEV: taken from response packet
id: request identity number 1..?, corresponding
to the response packet id
the request is accepted
ChkSum: XOR on frame's all numbers
- Port settings:
Speed 9600 bps, Bits 8, ParityOdd, Stop Bits 1, DTR and RTS logic 0
In the MBUS bus, the phone has only one connector for transmission and reception.
Because of this characteristics of the phone connector, every time that the PC writes into the phone it is writing as well into its own Rx. So every time the PC sends info into the phone it finds that same information in its own Rx buffers, like a mirror copy. This should be discarded.
The communications is made like an old cb radio, only one talking at a time. Many transmission are made this way:
<computer sends request>
<phone sends ack>
<phone sends response>
<computer sends ack>
Some frames are sent from phone without asking for them
You have to implement collision protocol. IE. you should listen for what you are transmitting, and if it does not come back, you have collision.
You should wait for bus to be free for 3 miliseconds before normal message, and for 2.5 miliseconds before acknowledge. You should wait for acknowledge for 200 miliseconds, then retransmit.
Frame format for FBUS version 1¶
All frames:
{ FrameID, FrameLength, MsgType, {block}, SeqNo, ChkSum }
where FrameID: 0x01 Command frame from computer to Nokia
0x02 ??? - Data call frame from computer to Nokia - ???
0x03 Data call frame from Nokia to computer
0x04 Command frame from Nokia to computer
FrameLength: {block} + 2
MsgType: see List
SeqNum: Sequence number of command in case where direction is
from ME to computer, the sequence number is
counting from 0x30 to 0x37 and resetting back to 0x30.
When direction is from computer to ME,
sequence number counts from 0x08 to 0x0f and resets back to 0x08.
It may not be required to be this way.
Sequence numbers are used in acknowledging commands.
ChkSum1: CRC = 0;
for (i = 0; i < (2 + CMD_LEN); i++)
CRC ^= frame[i];
Frame format for FBUS version 2/Direct IRDA¶
All frames:
{ FrameID, DestDEV, SrcDEV, MsgType, 0x00, FrameLength, {block}, FramesToGo,
SeqNo, PaddingByte?, ChkSum1, ChkSum2 }
where FrameID: 0x1c: IR / FBUS
0x1e: Serial / FBUS
DestDev, SrcDev: 0x00: mobile phone
0x0c: TE (FBUS) [eg. PC]
MsgType: see List
FrameLength: {block} + 2 (+ 1 if PaddingByte exists)
FramesToGo: 0x01 means the last frame
SeqNo: [0xXY]
X: 4: first block
0: continuing block
Y: sequence number
PaddingByte: 0x00 if FrameLength would be an odd number
anyways it doesn't exists
ChkSum1: XOR on frame's odd numbers
ChkSum2?: XOR on frame's even numbers
Frame format for MBUS version 2¶
Cable:
{ FrameID, DestDEV, SrcDEV, MsgType, FrameLengthLO, FrameLengthHI, {block},
SeqNo, ChkSum }
where FrameID: 0x1f: Serial / M2BUS
DestDev, SrcDev: 0x00: mobile phone
0x1d: TE (M2BUS)
0x10: TE (M2BUS) (Service Software ?)
0x04: Carkit?
0x48: DLR3 cable?
0xF8: unknown target?
0xFF: global target?
MsgType: see List
FrameLength: {block}
SeqNo: sequence number
ChkSum: XOR on frame's all numbers
Please note that M2BUS has only one checksum: XOR on frame[FrameID..SeqNo]
Ack:
{ FrameID, DestDEV, SrcDEV, 0x7f, Id_SeqNo, ChkSum }
where Id_SeqNo: Is the sequence number that you are
acknowleging (from the other part).
Frame format for Infrared:
{ FrameID, DestDEV, SrcDEV, MsgType, FrameLengthLo, FrameLengthHi, {block}}
where FrameID: 0x14
DestDev, SrcDev: 0x00: mobile phone
0x0c: TE [eg. PC]
MsgType: see List
FrameLength: {block}
Frame format for Bluetooth:
{ FrameID, DestDEV, SrcDEV, MsgType, FrameLengthLo, FrameLengthHi, {block} }
where FrameID: 0x19
DestDev, SrcDev: 0x00: mobile phone
0x10: TE [eg. PC]
MsgType: see List
FrameLength: {block}
Frames list format:
hex: Short description
x msg desc { ... }
0xXX -> one byte
0xXXYY -> two bytes (== 0xXX, 0xYY)
where hex: message type
x: s=send (eg. to mobile), r=receive
{ ... }: data after 0x00, 0x01 header
{+... }: raw data (without header)
Misc (about MBUS version 2)¶
0x4E commands¶

DLR-3 req:
1F 48 00 4E 00 02 01 XX SQ CS
frame sent from the phone to the DLR-3 cable (after 15kOhm resistor detected betw. XMIC (3) and DGND (9).) DSR,DCD,CTS flow control data is coded into the 2nd databyte
XX:
bit.0=/CTS
bit.1=/DCD
bit.2=CMD/DATA
bit.3=DSR
bit.4-7=0
0x78 / 0x79 commands¶
(used by handsfree carkit) Works also on GSM phones (5110 / 6110 / etc)
These commands are used by the Nokia Carkits to switch the phone audio path to XMiC and XEAR , turn the phone on/off according to the car ignition, and control the PA loudspeaker amplifier in the carkit and the car radio mute output which silences the car radio during a call
- mute status tone:
- 1F 04 00 78 00 04 01 02 0E 00 SQ CS
status indication = disable carkit audio amplifier (no audio / no tone)
- mute status tone:
- 1F 04 00 78 00 04 01 02 0E 03 SQ CS
status indication = enable carkit audio amplifier (audio / tone present)
- mute status call:
- 1F 04 00 78 00 04 01 02 07 00 SQ CS
status indication = disable radio mute output (no call)
- mute status call:
- 1F 04 00 78 00 04 01 02 07 01 SQ CS
status indication = enable radio mute output (call active)
- enable ???:
- 1F 04 00 78 00 04 01 02 08 01 SQ CS
status indication = enable ??? sent to HFU-2 on power on byte 9 (07,08,0E) seems to be a pointer to a memory location, byte 10 is the data at this memeory location.
- response from HFU:
- 1F 00 04 78 00 03 02 01 03 SQ CS
response message from HFU-2 (use unknown)
- go HF and IGN on:
- 1F 00 04 79 00 05 02 01 01 63 00 SQ CS
enables carkit mode + turns phone on + req. mute status
- go HF and IGN off:
- 1F 00 04 79 00 05 02 01 01 61 00 SQ CS
enables carkit mode + powers phone off (1 min delay) + req. mute status

- 1F 00 04 79 00 05 02 01 01 23 00 SQ CS
enables carkit mode + external handset lifted (OFF-Hook)
- ext. HS Onhk:
- 1F 00 04 79 00 05 02 01 01 63 00 SQ CS
enables carkit mode + external handset put back (ON-Hook) Ignition and Hook are coded into one byte
bit.0 = 0:on power on 1:when in operation
bit.1 = IGNITION STATUS
bit.2 = x can be 1 or 0
bit.3 = 0
bit.4 = 0
bit.5 = 1
