PATCH 1/1 1/5: cmd_boot
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 <--> LFDelays are in milliseconds.

I don't use minicom myself, all our targets have ethernet as a minimum. But wouldn't including the patch with an '#ifdef MINICOM' be a reasonable compromise?

Ar you just asking, or do you really experience any minicom related problems your own? [Why do you use it, then?]
Best regards,

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.

In this case change the command string for kernel downloads in Minicom so that it uses ckermit for the download --- you don't have to like the ckermit "UI" to use it for batch file transfer.

But Robert was talking about kermit _binary_ download. Will this still use ascii-xfr.c at all?
