# Introduce This is [ymodem protocal](http://pauillac.inria.fr/~doligez/zmodem/ymodem.txt). According to it, the sb rb application is realized, which is used to send files and receive files respectively # Usage ## Common Usage In the ubuntu system, lszrz needs to be installed, can use `sudo apt install lszrz`. Use minicom to communicate with the board. ## Advanced Usage In order to achieve a faster transmission speed, I added a specific HEADER `STC` to the YMODEM protocol to represent the custom length. Using the `sb` and `rb` commands on the board, you can use the `-k` option to set the length of the custom packet, and the unit is KB. Therefore, you need to use `sbrb.py` for file transfer, and you need `sbrb.py` -k to set the same length as the board. According to my test, when using -k 32, it can reach 93% of the baud rate, and is fully compatible with the original ymodem protocol. First, you need to add a soft link to sbrb.py, for example `sudo ln -s /home//...//apps/system/ymodem/sbrb.py /usr/bin` and then sbrb.py can be configured into minicom.` z o` then chose `File transfer protocols` and crate two option cmd is 'sbrb.py -k 32'. like this | Name | Program | Name | U/D | FullScr | IO-Red. | Multi | | ---- | ------- | ---- | --- | ------- | ------- | ----- | | ymodem-k | sbrb.py -k 32 | Y | U | N | Y | Y | | ymodem-k | sbrb.py -k 32 | N | D | N | Y | Y | usb `sb -k 32` or `rb -k 32` for file transfer on board. ## Sendfile to pc use sb command like this `nsh> sb /tmp/test.c ...`, this command support send multiple files together then use ` , r` chose `ymodem` to receive board file. ## Sendfile to board use rb cmd like this `nsh> rb`, this command support receive multiple files together then use ` , s` chose `ymodem`, then chose what file need to send. ## help can use `sb -h` or `rb -h` get help. # Debug Because the serial port is used for communication, the log is printed to the debug file you can use `CONFIG_SYSTEM_YMODEM_DEBUGFILE_PATH` set debug file path.
