27They are meant as EXAMPLE code, so it is very likely that you will
28have to modify them before use.

42 "kermit" script to automatically initialize the environment
43 variables on your target. This is most useful during
44 development when your environment variables are stored in an
45 embedded flash sector which is erased whenever you install a
46 new U-Boot image.

54 "kermit" script to send a U-Boot command and print the
55 results. When used from a shell with history (like the bash)
56 this indirectly adds kind of history to U-Boot ;-)
