                        String to send to invoke bootloader. Can include
                        C-style control characters such as \n and \r. For
                        example: --send-reset='reset\r\n' or --send-

  --procinfo-order PROCINFO_ORDER PROCINFO_ORDER PROCINFO_ORDER PROCINFO_ORDER
 PROCINFO_ORDER
                        Order in which the bootloader sends information like
                        flash size. Default: `proc flash boot page eeprom'.
                        E.g. EvB 5.1 boards seem to need `page proc flash
                        boot eeprom'.

Example: upload blink.hex to an EvB 5.1 board:

$ ./pygaload.py --verbose -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 57600 --procinfo-order page proc flash boot eeprom blink.hex
