Hi James
I will try it. Through the terminal I can ping the board, but I cant open a
Telnet connection.
When I open a ttyUSB connection to the Roach en monitor it, and try to
upload the fga file, the Roach gives the same error "progremote"
Thats why I'm confused
Thanks for your help!
I really appreciate it
