1.2.2 Loading by XModem through Console Port

I. Introduction to XModem
XModem protocol is a file transfer protocol that is widely used due to its simplicity and
high stability. The XModem protocol transfers files through Console port. It supports
two types of data packets (128 bytes and 1 KB), two check methods (checksum and
CRC), and multiple attempts of error packet retransmission (generally the maximum
number of retransmission attempts is ten).
The XModem transmission procedure is completed by a receiving program and a
sending program. The receiving program sends negotiation characters to negotiate a
packet checking method. After the negotiation, the sending program starts to transmit
data packets. When receiving a complete packet, the receiving program checks the
packet using the agreed method. If the check succeeds, the receiving program sends
acknowledgement characters and the sending program proceeds to send another
packet. If the check fails, the receiving program sends negative acknowledgement
characters and the sending program retransmits the packet.
