It would be easier to answer if you shared the job definition and your
device dictionary.

I think you might need another "deploy" section at this point. There
is no native ymodem deployment but you can use deploy-to-flasher. I
have a similar job for TI am64 which sends u-boot binaries over
xmodem:
https://lava.infra.foundries.io/scheduler/job/79774#L357
am64-uart-flash.sh is not part of LAVA. It's a custom script that is
called as part of the deployment process. You can see how it's done in
the device dictionary:

Hope this helps.
