+loady command
+=============
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+::
+
+    loady [addr [baud]]
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The loady command is used to transfer a file to the device via the serial line
+using the YMODEM protocol.
+
+The number of transferred bytes is saved in environment variable filesize.
+
+addr
+    load address, defaults to environment variable loadaddr or if loadaddr is
+    not set to configuration variable CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR
+
+baud
+    baud rate for the ymodem transmission. After the transmission the baud
+    rate is reset to the original value.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+In the example below the terminal emulation program picocom was used to
+transfer a file to the device.
+
+After entering the loady command the key sequence <CTRL-A><CTRL-S> is used to
+let picocom prompt for the file name. Picocom invokes the program sz for the
+file transfer.
+
+::
+
+    => loady 80064000 115200
+    ## Ready for binary (ymodem) download to 0x80064000 at 115200 bps...
+    C
+    *** file: BOOTRISCV64.EFI
+    $ sz -b -vv BOOTRISCV64.EFI
+    Sending: BOOTRISCV64.EFI
+    Bytes Sent: 398976   BPS:7883

+    Ymodem sectors/kbytes sent:   0/ 0k
+    Transfer complete
+
+    *** exit status: 0 ***
+    /1(CAN) packets, 4 retries
+    ## Total Size      = 0x0006165f = 398943 Bytes
