This message is coming from the host X-modem program.
The problem is that when reading an ELF image, the actual file contains
much more information than RedBoot needs. Rather than waste time (serial
downloads are already slow enough), RedBoot cancels the connection once
the required segments have been loaded. This is what makes the host end
think that there might be an error.
The user can determine if there was an actual error (in fact, only RedBoot
can cancel the operation and it _only_ does it on ELF images) by examining
the output on the RedBoot console, not the X-modem output.
The best way around this is to not download ELF images via serial download.
