RE: [microblaze-uclinux] image download - Kermit and Windows?

["Ayre, Aditya" <Aditya.Ayre@xxxxxxx>]

I also had faced problems, but it was fixed by 
proper configuration of u-boot (esp. baud-rate).

I stopped using serial-download as it is very slow.

Instead what I use is direct download of the images 
To device memory.

For example, in XMD:

connect mb mdm
stop
rst
dow -data image.ub 0x80002000
dow u-boot.elf
con

Then on u-boot prompt in HyperTerminal/Putty:

1. Hit any key to prevent auto-loading
2. type following command: bootm 0x80002000

If your u-boot.elf is not properly configured, then
its configuration script might also need to be
downloaded and invoked in u-boot before 'bootm'
