A python code to fetch fit files from XOSS G+ cyclo-computer over bluetooth (BLE) for you.
(C) 2024 ekspla
A quick/preliminary version of code for use with XOSS G+ GPS cyclo-computer, inspired by f-xoss project.
This code is a modified version of cycsync.py for Cycplus M2, which does not work for my use case as is.
The code shown here was tested with XOSS G+ (gen1), Windows10 on Core-i5, TPLink USB BT dongle (UB400, v4.0), Python-3.8.6 and Bleak-0.22.2.
This script allows you to:
- Obtain a list of data files on your device
- Download data (in FIT fromat) from your device
- See free/usage of storage in your device
-
Install bluetooth low energy interface/driver software on your PC.
-
Check if your device and the PC are paired.
-
Install python (of course).
-
Install bleak:
pip install bleak
- Download and run the script

Though I tested this only with XOSS G+ (gen1) and Windows10 & 11, combinations of the other XOSS device/OS might work. C.f. Bleak supports Android, MacOS, Windows, and Linux.
The script seems to work perfectly for my use case as shown above, but there are possible limitations due mainly to the implementation of YMODEM in part as followings.
- The script expects a transport with MTU of 23, 128-byte data per block, and CRC16/ARC (not CRC16/XMODEM). I am not sure if the SoC(seems to be nRF52832)/software in the XOSS device supports larger MTU or 1024-byte data in YMODEM (see, Notes 1 & 2).
-
My XOSS-G+ (Gen1) was found to be not changing MTU(23)/data size(128) with Win11 and Bluetooth 5.1 interface, which always requests MTU of 525, while f-xoss project for XOSS-NAV used MTU of 206.
-
The proprietary XOSS App on mobile phone itself seems to support larger MTU/data size by DLE (data length extension) and STX. See, for example this Xingzhe's web site.
