Ward Christensen developed XMODEM, a straightforward file transfer protocol, in 1977. It frequently finds application between two computers employing the XMODEM protocol. The protocol initiates transmission with the ‘C’ character, followed by packets. The receiver provides proper acknowledgment (ACK) for each packet. Identification of the last packet is facilitated by EOT, and the completion of transmission is signaled by ETB.

Embedded Protocol – SPI Communication
SPI is an abbreviation for Serial Peripheral Interface, which stands for Synchronous Serial Communication Interface. It is utilized for short-distance communication and was developed by Motorola in 1980, later becoming a de facto standard. SPI communication operates in full-duplex mode. It is also sometimes referred to as the Four-Wire Serial Bus (FWSB), distinguishing it from Three, Two, and One Wire Serial Bus protocols. The four-wire protocol includes SCL, SS, MISO, and MOSI. SPI operates as a single master protocol.
