The uManager has new file transfer code, that actually should be more correct than the old code in the BIOS itself, not that xmodem is that complicated.... Not transfering correct can trash the BIOS flash itself, as the small ARM CPU that uManager runs on can't buffer the whole BIOS but have to update the BIOS block by block, so if something goes wrong it might just have updated part of the BIOS flash. I use Windows Hyperterminal when donwloading new BIOS'es, mostly as Windows is where I design hardware and BIOS code on. I would like to ensure that most common unix terminal emulators also work. so feedback about what that do work and do not is very welcome as it sounds like I need to do testing on Unix too. But please first ensure that you use the correct protocol, Xmodem CRC (Xmodem 1K also work in new uManager code), your speed,8,n,1 with no hardware or software handshake.
