Hi Marco,
I'm upgrading now my Soekris 5501 bios with Minicom and Ubuntu (my
workstation now).
My step:
-check if lrzsz is installed or apt-get install lrzsz
-start minicom and ctrl-p to comBIOS Monitor
-download the bios from soekris.com
-On minicom ctrl a+z and O (cOnfigure), my serial port

Tried 'cu/lsx' method - it worked the first time...
The cu/lsx approach is described here: (Google: soekris bios cu)

One problem I ran into many times on minicom was failing to turn off
flow-control. Turn them both off.

I'm sorry to ask a stupid question, but I'm unable to
start the download of the bios.
I use often serial connection with strange things
with no problem that some thinkering doesn't solved
But in this case the XMODEM transfert make ACK errors and
quit, or just start and stop after 2 blocks

I'm using Minicom, Linux, a commercial, tested cable
that I normally use with Soekris board, a 5501
I tried also various, strange combination of speed,
Hi
The BIOS upgrade process is pretty specific to Windows Hyperterminal
implementation of XMODEM / CRC. They use a somewhat non-standard
method for getting CRC running. Most normal communications programs
drop back to checksum XMODEM when they see what the bios is doing.
Once they do that
