OK, then I will not accept it. I hate minicom, and I'm actively blackballing it ;-)
I also find it very important to support minicom on Linux systems because it is the default terminal program in many Linux distributions. And it is not true that the usage of sx-at91 would be restricted only to minicom; minicom itself doesn't contain transfer programs for X-, Y- and Z-MODEM; instead it uses the external programs from the rzsz package. A proper solution would be fixing the rzsz's sx program so it doesn't cause X-MODEM protocol errors for the AT91 implementation. Even M$ Hyperterminal behaves correctly.
=> And this is exactly what Marco Cavallini's sx-at91 does I do not know if sx-at91 is a generic tool for X-Modem supporting all thinkable modes since it was built to talk to the AT91RM9200 BootROM. My experience with the minicom + sx-at91 combination is "solid as a rock"
When I said "depends on minicom", I was probably mistaken. Looked briefly into the source and I think you can run it in directly from the prompt without having to start minicom.
"sx-at91 <filename>"
should be OK (but I did not see any reason to try).
"raw-at91 <file-name>" should then work as well.
(Maybe I should change the name to "u-script")
"raw-at91" is anyway not so important as "sx-at91"
