Option 3. Receive new main program or kernel from serial port

UltraMatrix switch is first turned on shows the Kernel and main program
version that is presently installed.
You cannot update the flash memory using only a display terminal; you
must use a standalone computer or Notebook and the new main or
kernel program saved on that computer.
