[ECOS] Serial and disk upload problem

[Marco Brambilla <mbrambil at treebeard dot cdc dot polimi dot it>]

Hello anyone,

I compiled eCos and RedBoot for i386.
I booted my i386 from a diskette with RedBoot and it boots correctly.
If I connect the i386 via GDB, i can load my sample applications and run 
them correctly.
The problem is that it fails sending the application via minicom. What I 
type is:

Redboot> load -r -v -m xmodem -b 0x200000 helloWorld

In minicom:  Ctrl-A-S  then I choose xmodem protocol, helloWorld file. A 
window appears, and inside it :

Sending helloWorld file, 52 blocks. Give your local XMODEM recieve 
command now.
Xmodem sectors/kbytes sent:    0 / 0 kb

After a while:

Retry 0 : Timeout on sector ACK

And in the redboot shell :

CCCCCC#######Can't load '<null>': Timed out.


Another problem:
If I put the same 'helloWorld' file on, let's say :  /dev/hda1, root 
directory
which is the correct syntax for the load command to load it ?


Thanks very much for any help.

   Marco
