    I'm trying to use minicom to download a new bootloader through BOLO. I typed in 'load elf' at the losh prompt. But when I initiate the send command from minicom, it just times out waiting for an xmodem receive command. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    I think the best thing to do is to bypass minicom when
    downloading. Unfortunately, 'load elf' expects a raw binary
    stream, not an x-modem negotiated transfer. Fortunately,
    this makes it easy to bypass minicom, from a shell prompt
    you can do this (even while minicom is running, after typing
    'load elf')

    cat new_lolo_image.elf > /dev/ttyS1

    regards,

    You can also add another transfer method to minicom.

    I added one called binary with the command "/bin/cat". All of the reset of the default protocol options are correct.

    Thanks! Both of these methods work well.
