[U-Boot-Users] loads command cannot transfer srec file

[Swapnil Ashok Narkhede]

I am now using Kermit for the serial communication. But still i am having the same problem.

When i use loads 40000 i get the output as
## Ready for S-Record download ...
 and then the system seems to do nothing.

When i use loadb
##Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0xA0800000 at 115200 bps..
 and then the system seems to do nothing.

Please guide me what could be the reason for this

This is to be expected. Please read the  manual  (DULG)  how  to  use
S-Record download. Note that Windows Hyperterminal is *not* listed as
supported tool for this purpose.

This is then a problem with Hyperterminal. Use the recommended  tools
instead.

You're using the wrong tools.

There is no default path. It's up to the terminal program  to  select
and send the appropriate file.
