5.2.2 Loading Software from Console Port Using XModem

I. Introduction to XModem
XModem is a file transfer protocol widely used due to its simplicity and good functions.
XModem transfers files via Console port, supporting data packets of 128 bytes and
1KB. With respect to reliability, it supports checksum, CRC, and error packet
retransmission mechanism. Normally, the maximum number of retransmission
attempts is ten.
XModem transmission is completed by receiving program and sending program.
Receiving program initiates packet checking method negotiation by sending the
negotiation character. If the negotiation passes, sending program starts packet
transmission. Upon the receipt of a complete packet, the receiving program checks it
using the agreed-upon check method. If the check succeeds, the receiving program
sends an acknowledgement character; if the check fails, it sends a reject character.
Upon the receipt of the acknowledgement, the sending program continues to send
the next packet; upon the receipt of the reject, it retransmits the packet.
