[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] 1/5: cmd_boot

[Jerry Van Baren]

There is another reasonable compromise (that Wolfgang will endorse, I'm 
sure :-).  I looked at minicom, and it uses "ascii-xfr -dsv" to send an 
ASCII file.  The "-d" says to send ^D as the end-of-file marker.  The only 
other alternative is ^Z, which is no good either.

I suggest the <proper> approach to this is to get the source to ascii-xfr 
and add a parameter to suppress sending _anything_ as a "EOF" marker.  Then 
there should not be any issue.

Hmmm, I just downloaded minicom 2.0 and looked at ascii-xfr.c -- it uses 
the flag "-e" to tell minicom to send the EOF (or not) and the "-d" flag to 
select ^D vs. ^Z, so it looks like all you need to do is upgrade your 
minicom and change your ASCII download configuration to be "ascii-xfr -esv".

Usage: ascii-xfr -s|-r [-dvn] [-l linedelay] [-c character delay] filename
        -s:  send
        -r:  receive
        -e:  send the End Of File character (default is not to)
        -d:  set End Of File character to Control-D (instead of Control-Z)
        -v:  verbose (statistics on stderr output)
        -n:  do not translate CRLF <--> LF
        Delays are in milliseconds.
