Downloading Through the Console Port Using XMODEM
Introduction to XMODEM
The XMODEM protocol is a file transfer protocol widely used due to its simplicity and good performance.
XMODEM transfers files through the console port, supporting data packets of 128 bytes and 1 KB. With
respect to reliability, XMODEM supports checksum, CRC, and error packet retransmission mechanism.
Normally, the maximum number of transmission attempts is 10.
XMODEM transmission is completed by the receiving and sending program. The receiving program
initiates packet checking method negotiation by sending the negotiation character. After negotiation, the
sending program starts packet transmission. Upon the receipt of a complete packet, the receiving
program checks it using the negotiated checking method. If the check succeeds, the receiving program
sends an acknowledgement character; if the check fails, it sends a negative acknowledgement
character. Upon the receipt of an acknowledgement, the sending program continues to send the next
packet; upon the receipt of a negative acknowledgement, it retransmits the packet.
