It is not one specific problem. minicom is just crap. Dump it.
i am using minicom to download u-boot using serial console(at91rm9200dk). it needs a seperate program for xmodem. I got this program from net. it is attached.
I mean, if there were no altrernativs around, one would probably bother to fix at least the most pressing issues, but there is plenty wroking alternatives, so who cares?
Best regards,
