Hi I can't seem to load uImage-bf533-ezkit-2009R1-RC6 on to my ezkit. I'm using u-boot-bf533-ezkit-bypass-2009R1-rc3.bin which I loaded into the flash. Here's what happens if I follow the directions on the wiki
( docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=bootloaders:u-boot:serial_port_loading_files)

I tried a bunch of different kermit settings and nothing seems to help. Has anyone run into this before? Has anyone successfully loaded uCLinux over serial on an EZKIT 533?
Thanks.

A lot of people have loaded uclinux on the BF533 board via serial. You're certainly not breaking new ground.
It appears you're using a USB serial port adaptor. What version of kermit are you using? Perhaps you're hitting a bug in kermit. See this page, bug #731:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/k95/newbugs.txt
If you have an alternative serial port on your host, you might want to try it. Or, if you have one, another brand of USB serial port adaptor. Or, if you're using an older version of kermit (like kermit-95), upgrade it, eg to c-kermit 8.

Wow, it was the USB to serial adapter. This is the third Prolific PL2303 USB to Serial I've encountered that either doesn't work at all or malfunctions in some way. All I have are PL2303s around, but one out of three works in every discernable way, the other one works for talking to u-boot but not for the transfer *argh*.
Thanks for the tip.

many usb serial cables are known to be of very inferior quality (not necessarily the fault of the chip itself) and introduce bit errors at higher rates. about all you can do is get a new cable or lower the baud rate.
