Transfer files via terminal (Zmodem)

Transfer files via terminal (Zmodem)

[David Marqvar (DAM)]

Has anyone compiled sz/rz for ppc (MPC823) in order to use ZModem to
transfer files via terminal connection to the target?

Or, is the some other way of transferring files to my embedded system. I'm
connected to it using a terminal (minicom, kermit). No network.

Thanks in avance!

ppcboot supports kermit.

most of us just use srecords over a plain ascii connection.

I want to do it directly within Linux after boot.
(I'm currently running Busybox).
I'm looking for a small Linux-util to reviece files from the serial line.

In a perfect world I would be running "rz > /dev/mtd/3" to download
a new filesystem to my flash. On my host I would send the (raw)
filesystem from minicom... or if I had a kermit "client" for my
ppc-target I would send using kermit.

Thanks anyway :-)

David

Correct.

But Kermit binary protocol  is  not  only  more  reliable,  but  also
significantly faster.

Try http://www.ohse.de/uwe/software/lrzsz.html, it's GPL, it works for me
(together with minicom).
