XModem Tranceiver
The XModem layer plugin implements transmission and reception of files using the XModem protocol. Since it is implemented in form of layer, you can use this plugin to transfer files over any transport (TCP, UDP, Pipe, etc.), not just Serial.
XModem is often used in embedded systems development, particularly for transferring firmware images to microcontrollers or bootloaders that support only basic serial communication. It is also commonly employed in networking equipment configuration, legacy terminal systems, and industrial hardware where reliability and simplicity are more important than speed.
