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 setup: Serial Device : /dev/ttyS0 Lockfile Location : /var/lock Bps/Par/Bits : 9600 8N1 Hardware Flow Control : No Software Flow Control : No ok, sounds goooood:) -write "download -" on comBIOS and very fast "ctrl a+z" and "S" (send file) -select xmodem, search the file click space bar and enter -Sending b5501_132i.bin, 784 blocks: Give your local XMODEM reeive command now etc etc on minicom -on comBios:"flashupdate" -on comBios:"reboot" On my various soekris this tips works fine, 4801 or 5501.
