I still use it regularly in 2024 to load data onto embedded devices running U-Boot. It saves me a network cable if one is not otherwise required.

- ruslan 2y agoU-Boot supports Zmodem ?
- ale42 2y agoEDIT: actually not ZModem, but it supports X/YModem -- source code, despite the comment at its beginning, finally says "Sorry, zModem not available yet" yes and also X/Ymodem, see source code: https://elixir.bootlin.com/u-boot/latest/source/common/xyzModem.c https://elixir.bootlin.com/u-boot/latest/source/common/xyzMo... extremely useful feature (I used xmodem in the past, if I remember well)
- ruslan 2y agoDid not know that. Indeed it's very useful. Thank you!
- olyjohn 2y agoI just had to update the firmware my HF radio using xmodem protocol. Tons of modern ham radio gear still using serial data... even the modern ones that connect to your PC via USB, still just a USB->serial device built in.
