PATCH 1/1 1/5: cmd_boot
Well, then switch back to ascii-xfr :-P ;-)
Seriously, if you are running kermit to do the transfer using minicom, why bother with minicom? Document for your users how to use kermit and make them type the commands -- menus aren't everything and minicom's menus are anything to write home about anyway.

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".The problem happened with download via kermit, not with ascii-xfr.

Users may use Linux or Windows for their console machine, so the transfer protocol has to be machine independend and should be available out of the box on most of the machines out there. Which limits it to xmodem, zmodem and kermit.
Folks, Linux is about having the choice. I like the user interface of minicom better than that one of a command line tool like ckermit. U-Boot shouldn't force people on one policy.

Don't forget S-Record. Actually most people I've seen working on
windoze boxen preferred S-Record download using hyperterm (or
whatever this tool was called).

You write: "the transfer protocol has to be machine independend and should be available out of the box on most of the machines out there".
Please name a terminal program that is available in a more machine independend way or on more machines out there than CKermit.
To me the only logical conclusion of your own arguments is that you should be using CKermit.
Best regards,
