Re: [Gumstix-users] System does not boot with Netwifimicrosd

[Peter V. <pet...@gm...>]

For the kermit transfer of files, make sure all of these are set:
-set speed 115200
-fast
-set reliable
-set flow-control none
-set carrier-watch off
-set prefixing all
otherwise you will get a slew of errors with a file transfer.
