Communication is performed through the UART0 initialized to 115200 Baud, 8, n, 1.
The Send and Receive File commands use the Xmodem protocol to communicate. Any terminal performing this 

protocol can be used to send the application file to the target. The size of the binary file to send depends on the 

SRAM size embedded in the product. In all cases, the size of the binary file must be lower than the SRAM size 

because the Xmodem protocol requires some SRAM memory to work. See, 

The Xmodem protocol supported is the 128-byte length block. This protocol uses a two-character CRC-16 to 

guarantee detection of a maximum bit error.
Xmodem protocol with CRC is accurate provided both sender and receiver report successful transmission. Each 

block of the transfer looks like:
<SOH><blk #><255-blk #><--128 data bytes--><checksum> in which:

̶

<SOH> = 01 hex

̶

<blk #> = binary number, starts at 01, increments by 1, and wraps 0FFH to 00H (not to 01)

̶

<255-blk #> = 1’s complement of the blk#.

̶

<checksum> = 2 bytes CRC16 

 shows a transmission using this protocol.

The device uses the USB communication device class (CDC) drivers to take advantage of the installed PC RS-232 

software to talk over the USB. The CDC class is implemented in all releases of Windows
