Option Summary:
    -l | --log                          Optional. Create a log file.

    -bp | --binary-path                 Required. Specify path to the binary file
                                        to be uploaded.

    -tp | --target-path                 Required. Specify path to the target board.

    -xmr | --xmodem-max-retry           Optional. Specify max amount of times to retry before aborting upload.
                                        Default is 10.

    -xbs | --xmodem-block-size          Required if not using automatic configuration.
                                        Specify block size of XModem data transfer.

    --aries                             Use CDAC Aries serial port configuration.

    -sp | --serial-parity               Optional. Specify if target uses parity bit.
                                        Default is false.

    -ssb | --serial-stop-bits           Required. Specify number of stop bits
                                        for target.

    -src | --serial-rts-cts             Optional. Specify if target uses RTS/CTS
                                        flow control.
                                        Default is false.

    -sb | --serial-bits                 Required. Specify the number of data bits sent
                                        in a byte to the target.

    -sbr | --serial-baud-rate           Required. Specify serial baud rate of the
                                        target.

    -srt | --serial-read-timeout        Optional. Specify timeout for each read in
                                        milliseconds.
                                        Default is 500.

    -sau | --start-after-upload         Optional. Immediately start running program
                                        after uploading.

    --license                           Print license information.

    -h | --help                         Print this message.

NOTE: you cannot use --aries and --xmodem-block-size / --serial* arguments (except --serial-read-timeout) at the same time.)

Note

vegadude does not play well with sniffer programs like interceptty, for now.
