Windows's Hyper terminal's 'send file' window displays 'no response from remote system'. The interesting thing is, i used visionclick's probe to peep into RAM areas. What i found is like this: ram locations starting from 0xa0308000 to 0xa037138A are good, i.e they correspond to vmlinux.srec file's contents, but location 0xa037138b onwards it is zero. Also, RedBoot hangs after this upload fails, but if i cancel upload, RedBoot works. I think, the upload process uses some RAM locations which i am overwriting.is this true ? have you seen this behaviour? what is happening here and how to over come it? or is there anything i missed. Your help is appreciated. Regards Venkat
