I have successfully updated (and downdated) the Net6501 bios (several times) from a Fedora 14 Linux box using "cu" with the xmodem helper "sx", exactly as described in http://wiki.soekris.info/Updating_Bios ("cu" is part of the Fedora "uucp" package and "sx" comes from the "lrzsz" package.) (As for the serial hardware on the Linux box: I used one of those cheap USB-to-serial widgets.) I had trouble with other terminal emulators. --karl-- _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
