You need to send it either an Intel Hex file, or a Motorola SRecord
file. You can convert an elf file to either format with avr-objcopy.

For elf to hex:

        avr-objcopy -j .text -j .data -O ihex foo.elf foo.hex

For elf to srec:

        avr-objcopy -j .text -j .data -O srec foo.elf foo.srec

Then tell uisp to read the hex or srec file.
