I prefer to use a `runscript' with minicom. Sometimes, files are located
so far from minicom upload directory. Usually, those are the eCos tests.

I add a simple rule to Makefile:

load: ${DST}
 	rbld ${DST}

and then do `make load'

Here is my `rbld' (redboot load) shell script to upload a code with
RedBoot xyzmodem. For details: man runscript.

usage: rbld <filename> ?-b?
