1 Introduction
Quectel EC2x&EG25-G&EG9x&EM05 modules provide AT commands to operate files on different
physical storage mediums. This document is a reference guide to these commands.

The supported storage mediums are as follows:

 UFS: User File Storage directory. It is a special directory on the flash file system.
 SD: SD card directory.
 RAM: Random Access Memory. It is faster but much smaller than the UFS. And the files in RAM will
be lost when rebooting the module.

The file name will indicate the storage location. When the file name begins with “RAM:”, it means that the
file is stored in RAM. When the file name begins with “SD:”, it means that the file is stored in SD card. If
there are no prefix characters in the file name, then the file is stored in UFS.

NOTE

Storage medium SD is not supported on EG9x module.

1.1. Applicable Modules

This document is applicable to the following Quectel modules:

 EC2x: EC25/EC21/EC20 R2.0/EC20 R2.1

 EG25-G
 EG9x: EG91/EG95
 EM05

EC2x&EG25-G&EG9x&EM05 FILE AT Commands Manual

1.2. The Process of Using File AT Commands

The following procedures can be followed to create, read and write a file in the storage:

1. A file can be uploaded to the storage by AT+QFUPL, and can be outputted/downloaded through the
serial interface by AT+QFDWL.

2. Open the file by AT+QFOPEN, and then the file can be written or read at any time and any location
until the file is closed by AT+QFCLOSE.

 When the file is opened by AT+QFOPEN, it can be set as overwrite mode, read-only mode or
other modes by the parameter <mode>. (For more information about <mode>, please refer to
Chapter 2.6). After the file is opened, a parameter <filehandle> is assigned to it. Then the file
can be operated by <filehandle>.
 After the file is opened, it can be written by AT+QFWRITE and can be read by AT+QFREAD
from the current file position.

 The file position can be set by AT+QFSEEK and the current file position can be queried by
AT+QFPOSITION.
 AT+QFTUCAT is used to truncate a file from the file pointer.
 AT+QFCLOSE is used to close the file, after which the <filehandle> becomes meaningless any
more.

There are several commands to manage files in the storage:

1. AT+QFLDS: get the space information of the storage.

2. AT+QFLST: list the file information in the storage.
3. AT+QFDEL: delete the file(s) in the storage.

1.3. Description of Data Mode

The COM port of EC2x/EG25-G/EG9x/EM05 module has two working modes: AT command mode and
data mode. In AT command mode, the inputted data via COM port will be treated as AT command. While
in data mode, it will be treated as data.

Inputting “+++” or pulling up DTR (AT&D1 should be set first) can make the COM port exit from data mode.
To prevent the “+++” from being misinterpreted as data, the following sequence should be followed:

1) Do not input any character within 1s or longer before inputting “+++”.

2) Input “+++” within 1s, and no other characters can be inputted during the time.
3) Do not input any character within 1s after “+++” has been inputted.

EC2x&EG25-G&EG9x&EM05_FILE_AT_Commands_Manual 6 / 26
 LTE Standard Module Series
EC2x&EG25-G&EG9x&EM05 FILE AT Commands Manual

When AT+QFUPL, AT+QFDWL, AT+QFREAD and AT+QFWRITE are executed, the COM port will enter
data mode. If customers are using “+++” or DTR to make the port exit from data mode, the executing
procedure of these commands will be interrupted before the response is returned. In such case, the COM
port cannot reenter data mode by executing ATO command.

 LTE Standard Module Series
EC2x&EG25-G&EG9x&EM05 FILE AT Commands Manual

After executing the Write Command and “CONNECT” returns, the module will switch to data mode. When
the uploaded data reaches <file_size>, or there is no any data inputted when <timeout> reaches, then it
will exit from data mode automatically. During data transmission, customers can use “+++” or DTR to
make the module exit from data mode, and more details are provided in Chapter 1.2.

+CME ERROR: <err>

Parameter

<freesize> The free space size of <name_pattern>. Please refer to AT+QFLDS command for

 LTE Standard Module Series
EC2x&EG25-G&EG9x&EM05 FILE AT Commands Manual

NOTES
1. It is strongly recommended to use DOS 8.3 file name format for <filename>.
2. <checksum> is a 16 bit checksum based on bitwise XOR.
If the number of the characters is odd, set the last character as the high 8 bit, and the low 8 bit as 0,
and then use an XOR operator to calculate the checksum. “+++” sequence will cause TA to end the
command and switch to command mode. However, the data previously uploaded will be preserved
into the file.
3. When executing the command, the data must be entered after “CONNECT” is returned.
4. The ACK mode is provided to avoid the loss of data when uploading large files, in case hardware flow
control does not work. The ACK mode works as follows:
1) Run AT+QFUPL=<filename>,<file_size>,<timeout>,1 to enable the ACK mode.
2) The module outputs “CONNECT”.
3) MCU sends 1K bytes data, and then module will respond with an “A”.
4) MCU receives this “A” and then sends the next 1K bytes data;
5) Repeat step 3) and 4) until the transfer is completed.

2.5. AT+QFDWL Download a File from the Storage

The command downloads a specified file from the storage.

AT+QFDWL Download a File from the Storage

Test Command Response
AT+QFDWL=? +QFDWL: <filename>

return to command mode and reply the following codes:
+QFDWL: <download_size>,<checksum>

OK

If there is an error related to ME functionality:

+CME ERROR: <err>

Parameter

<filename> Name of the file to be downloaded. The maximum length is 80 bytes.

“<filename>” Name of the UFS file to be downloaded.

<err> The code of an error relating to ME or network. Please refer to Chapter 4
for details.

2.13. AT+QFMOV Move a File

The command moves a file from one storage to another. It only supports moving the file from UFS or SD
to RAM, not from RAM to UFS or SD.

AT+QFMOV Move a File

Test Command Response
AT+QFMOV=? +QFMOV: <srcfilename>,<destfilename>,(0,1),(0,1)

OK
Write Command Response
AT+QFMOV=<srcfilename>,<destfilen OK
ame>,<copy>,<overwrite>
If there is an error related to ME functionality:
+CME ERROR: <err>

Parameter

<srcfilename> The source file. The max length is 80 bytes.

"<srcfilename>" The source file named <srcfilename> in the UFS.
"SD:<srcfilename>" The source file named <srcfilename> in the SD.
<destfilename> The destination file. The max length is 80 bytes.

"RAM:<destfilename>” The destination file named <destfilename> in the

RAM.
<copy> Whether or not to delete the source file after the file is moved.
0 Delete the source file after it is moved, i.e., cut this file.
1 Do not delete the source file after it is moved, i.e., copy this file.
<overwrite> Whether or not to overwrite the file if the destination file exists.
0 Do not overwrite the destination file if it exists.
1 Overwrite the destination file if it exists.
<err> The code of an error relating to ME or network. Please refer to Chapter 4
for details.

NOTE

When executing AT+QFMOV=”filenamea”,”RAM:flienameb”,<copy>,<overwrite>, it means moving a

single file, and users can move the file named “filenamea” in UFS to RAM, and rename it as “filenameb”.

3 Examples

3.1. Upload and Download a File

3.1.1. Upload a File

3.1.1.1. Non ACK Mode

AT+QFUPL="test1.txt",10 //Upload the text file test1.txt to UFS.

CONNECT
<Input file bin data>
+QFUPL: 10,3938

OK
AT+QFUPL="RAM:test1.txt",10 //Upload the text file RAM:test1.txt to RAM.
CONNECT
<Input file bin data>
+QFUPL: 10,6466 //Get the bytes and the checksum value of the uploaded data.
OK

3.1.1.2. ACK Mode

The ACK mode can make the data transmission more reliable. When transmitting a large file without
hardware flow control, the ACK mode is recommended to be used to prevent the data from being lost. For
more details about ACK mode, please refer to AT+QFUPL command.

AT+QFUPL="RAM:test.txt",3000,5,1 //Upload the text file RAM:test.txt to RAM.

CONNECT
<input file bin data of 1024bytes>
A //After receiving 1024 bytes data, the module will
respond an “A”. And then the next 1024 bytes data
can be inputted.
<input file bin data of 1024bytes>
A
<input the rest file bin data>
+QFUPL: 3000,B34A
