Loading Software Using
XModem Through the
Console Port
Introduction to XModem
XModem is a file transfer protocol that is widely used due to its simplicity and
good performance. XModem transfers files via Console port. It supports two types
of data packets (128 bytes and 1 KB), two check methods (checksum and CRC),
and error packet retransmission mechanism (generally the maximum number of
retransmission attempts is ten).
The XModem transmission procedure is completed by the cooperation of a
receiving program and a sending program. The receiving program sends a
negotiation packet to negotiate a packet check 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 an acknowledgement packet and
the sending program proceeds to send another packet; otherwise, the receiving
program sends a negative acknowledgement packet and the sending program
retransmits the packet.
