+This directory contains scripts that help to perform certain actions
+that need to be done frequently when working with U-Boot.
+
+They are meant as EXAMPLE code, so it is very likely that you will
+have to modify them before use.

+
+	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 ;-)

+
+	"kermit" script to automatically download a file to the
+	target using the "loadb" command (kermit binary protocol)
