+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.
+
+::
