3.3. Upgrading Software Using Xmodem
The Xmodem protocol transmits files through serial ports and supports both 128-byte and 1K-byte
packets. Xmodem also supports two types of check; normal checksum and CRC. When there is a
packet error, retransmission is supported, normally 10 times).
The Xmodem protocol completes transmission by receiving and sending programs. The receiving
program first sends the negotiating characters to negotiate the check means. After passing the
negotiation, the sending program begins to send the packet. The receiving program checks the packet
according to the negotiated means after receiving a complete packet. The acknowledgement
characters are sent after passing the check and then the sending program continues to send the next
packet. If the check fails, negative characters are sent and the sending program sends the packet
again.
