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

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
