+
+ Example for "~/.kermrc" Kermit init file for use with U-Boot
+

+
+flash_param:
+
+ "kermit" script to automatically initialize the environment
+ variables on your target. This is most useful during
+ development when your environment variables are stored in an
+ embedded flash sector which is erased whenever you install a
+ new U-Boot image.

+send_cmd:
+
+ send_cmd U_BOOT_COMMAND
+
+ "kermit" script to send a U-Boot command and print the
+ results. When used from a shell with history (like the bash)
+ this indirectly adds kind of history to U-Boot ;-)
