Z-modem

Here is what I want to do. I have my 8051 connected to the RS232 and a 256K x 8 flash memory. I want to be able to transfer a file of 256kbyte from RS232 to 8051 and then write to the flash memory continously. I am thinking of using the z-modem protocol to do the file transfer, but I am not sure how to set it up in with the 8051. If there is a better way to do this, please let me know...thanks

  • Do you have a particular reason for using ZModem?
    Zmodem is needed for sending binary files over links which may not support binary; it also has error checking & retransmission for bad lines, and supports multiple-file transfers.

    I wouldn't have thought that any of these were particularly necessary for sending an Intel Hex file a few feet down an RS232 cable?
