dcload-serial is a homebrew program originally developped by Andrew Kieschnick.

It allows a developer to use a serial cable (aka Coder's cable) as a link to send, execute, and debug code on a Sega Dreamcast console. It is typically loaded via CD-R, but can also be loaded directly through the BIOS.

It is able to transfer .bin and .elf files (and srec files, if specially configured for it) over the serial port. It also provides chainloaded programs with a standard syscall interface for communicating with a connected PC. The program is mostly intended for homebrew development, but can also be used with special programs.
