Load a new application image (SmartWare) via the serial link

The Bootloader supports the 'X-Modem' and 'Y-Modem' protocols to download application images via the
serial link of the console. Do the following to initiate the download:
Step Command
1 RedBoot> load -r -v -m {
xmodem | ymodem } -b
base_address
5 RedBoot> fis delete -n 1
6 RedBoot> fis create
7 RedBoot> fis list -l
8 RedBoot> go
Note
This type of download takes about 25 minutes since it uses a serial link at
only 9600 bps.
