hello List,

I have been trying to flash the 6501 bios to h version following:
http://soekris.com/media/software/b6501_140h.bin
If problems, current shipping net6501 comBIOS is at:
http://soekris.com/media/software/b6501_140_s.bin
Please note that you currently need to use the "download" command in the
uManager til update BIOS'es. There also seems to be a minor bug in the
uManager "download" command, the board need to be complely powered down
betweens two "download"s. (Have been fixed and will be included in the
final release).

Running obsd 5.0 on laptop, i tried both methods listed here:
http://wiki.soekris.info/Updating_Bios
cu -l /dev/ttyU0 -s 19200
pressing +++ until i get to the uManager (rev 0.6 110906)
#download
Start sending file using XMODEM/CRC protocol.
CCCCCCCCC (ongoing C character coming up if (or not) type any
character on the keyboard)
hit the ~+ or ~C keystroke but I can't get to the "local command"
(btw... are ~+ / ~C special command? running on a qwerty kb...)

With minicom,I can as well connect, settings are:
/usr/local/bin/lsz -Xvv
serial device set to /dev/ttyU0 19200 8N1
hardware  / soft flow control set to no

#download
Start sending file using XMODEM/CRC protocol.
Pressing CtrlA - Z to select S, then zmodem (set to "/usr/local/bin/lsz -Xvv")

but ends up with a "Transfer incomplete" in the small popup.

I have tried to remove the AC then plug back before starting a new
"download" command but still stuck.
Btw, I am not able to get to the bios using Ctrl+P ... the LED error
is ON so I guess the bios is "screwed up" ?


I am not sure what I am missing here, but any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks again,
josh
