The load command is used to download data into the target system. Data can be loaded via a network connection,
using either the TFTP or HTTP protocols, or the console serial connection using the X/Y modem protocol. Files
may also be loaded directly from local filesystems on disk. Files to be downloaded may either be executable images
in ELF executable program format, Motorola S-record (SREC) format or raw data.
