Re: [ECOS] problem with CF card not ready & problem with [xyz]modem

[Celine Latulipe <clatulip at cgl dot uwaterloo dot ca>]

I've set up minicom so that I type in the file name. So, at the redboot
prompt in minicom I type:

load -r -b 0x100000 -m xmodem

Then I type Ctrl-A S to send files and select the xmodem protocol and then
I type in redboot.bin.

Minicom tells me:

Sending redboot.bin, 1438 blocks: Give your local XMODEM receive command
now.

Then it just sits there for awhile doing nothing and eventually I get this
message:
Xmodem sectors/kbytes sent:  0/ 0kRetry 0: Timeout on sector ACK

At this point I get fed up and press Ctrl-C because it's obviously not
doing anything...
