Load a new application image (SmartWare) via the serial link

The Bootloader supports the ‘X-Modem’ and ‘Y-Modem’ protocols to download application images via the serial link of the console. Do the following to initiate the download:

Step	Command	Purpose
1	RedBoot> load -r -v -m {	Downloads an application image into the volatile memory
	xmodem ymodem } -b	(RAM) from where the SmartNode could directly execute it.
	base_address	‘xmodem’ or ‘ymodem’: Specify the protocol to be used, X-
		Modem or Y-Modem
		base_address: memory location where to store the application
		image. Use the default address 0x1800100
		Execute the above RedBoot command first, then start the trans-
		fer from the terminal program with the command ‘Send file via
		X-Modem’ (or similar).
5	RedBoot> fis delete -n 1	Deletes the first application image.
		Reply with ‘y’ to the confirmation request.
6	RedBoot> fis create	Stores the downloaded application image to the permanent
		memory (flash:).
		Reply with ‘y’ to the confirmation request.
7	RedBoot> fis list -l	Checks whether the image has been successfully stored,
		whether it is the desired Release and Build, and whether it is
		valid.
8	RedBoot> go	Starts the application image that was downloaded to the vola-
		tile memory (RAM).

Note This type of download takes about 25 minutes since it uses a serial link at only 9600 bps.
