yes,
Linux/minicom 1.82.1/sx 0.12.21rc <-> MPC860T based board,
CVS 12May2001 (eCos and RedBoot)

loading elf binaries with gdb works fine.

you are right, after killing sx and starting gdb i get:

Remote debugging using /dev/ttyS1
0x23fc8 in ?? ()
(gdb)

something like this:
$T0240:00023fc8;01:0003464c;#1f$T0240:00023fc8;01:0003464c;#1f$T0240:00023fc8;01:0003464c;#1

I found out that
transferring a file with 81 bytes gives the following

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dumping the according memory shows the expected content

I read about intermediate NAKs happening with earlier versions of RedBoot
but i use a very virgin one.

thanks for any advice, best regards, Christoph
