[U-Boot] which protocol do I use to send S-record files when using the loads command ?

There is no protoco. You just send line by line...

Why did you not follow the description in the Manual?

Yes. With other terminal emulation programs you may have to twiddle
with inter-character and especially inter-line timings.

loads is not supposed to support xmodem or ymodem or kermit (binary)
protocols.

For ymoden, please use the loady command.

For kermit binary protocol, please use the loadb command
(recommended: most stable and often fastest of the serial protocols).
