I have been researching how to load larger files to the N416. U-Boot contains loadu and loadum commands (that load from USB) in place of the typical loadb and loads commands (that load from serial). There are very sparse mentions of loadu and loadum on the internet (in Russian!) that reference using the firmware tools from Explay and Foxit ebooks. Unfortunately, I could not locate any of these tools with my google-fu.

The ancient Kobo desktop application probably has the ability to interface to loadu or loadum, but I haven't found the right references for that either.

Finally, I have come across firmware tools for S3C244X boards that reference Windows (XP) tools that use an executable called dnw.exe with its dnw.ini and a driver called secbulk.sys that will interface with the u-boot loadu(m) mode. I am going to need to pull an old XP laptop out of storage to see if I can get these tools to work, since the driver is unsigned and 32bit. I have Windows 7 64bit as my main machines. Hopefully, I can get to that in a day or so.
