Hi, You don't need to open a new terminal, you can use the built-in send file function like this:
Boot the board Ctrl-P > download - Ctrl-a, then z, then s Select xmodem Type in the directory where your bios file is, i.e. /home/root/Download Select your bios file and press enter, and then confirm by pressing enter again Then you may have a few NAK on sector, but the download should be successful. > flashupdate > reboot Please let me know if it worked. I had to try the download part twice before it worked on my computer .
