Is there any problem using this combination for serial downloads into u-boot.  I've not had much luck.  I was mildly surprised that the "Building Embedded Linux Systems Book" by Yaghmour, singled out minicom as not working well with u-boot.  Minicom has been around so long that I thought it would just work......that and when you check your minicom log it just calls /usr/bin/kermit anyway.
 
Any suggestions for what is bet to use?  cu,seyon, c-kermit directly, g-kermit ...
 
Thanks,
