No need special code for XBee, because XBee just using UART. You just do coding for UART transmit and UART receive.
This is example.

I don't know about this. I also try to update XBee firmware before this, then unable to communicate, after that I throw away..

shahrul, you throw it away?

I have problem before too, because reloading firmware or upgrading firmware will take time as the firmware is huge, so it communication is not stable, mostly it will corrupt, thus, communication fail.

But there is method to recovered it. Let me search and see....

OK, here you go, the XBee FAQ

I have try the method to recover, I tried the default baudrate and also all the baudrate, but still can't connect. So, yes I throw away.
