Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the fast reply.

But I am afraid, I dont see that file in my installation. Is it a part of 1.3.1 ? Or a part of ecos-latest?

I have tried using yMODEM too and "Send text file" also.

I'd check this and revert.

Something like: +$T05:ED2324... don't remember the pattern correctly. Similar to the one I got when I booted my target.
