Which Serial Terminal is recommended for project SBSFU on MAC and Linux?

[Jaanda]

Hi,

We were able to successfully port STM secure bootloader(SBSFU) on our custom boards. We could demo the firmware update using Teraterm(also extraputty) on windows machine as recommended by STM. But I was not able to update firmware using any of the terminal on linux(tried minicom, cutecom) or MAC(serial). Do you have any recommendation or a possible solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Arjun

You can try also moserial (it requires the lrzsz package for zmodem/xmodem/ymodem communications).

Tried that as well. Did not work. All serial terminals on linux are built i guess based on the lrzsz for modem communications. So the behavior is the same.

What protocol are you using? I remember XMODEM to be quirky, so try the others (if SBSFU can provide you with that option). ZMODEM is the most "recent" and robust.

[Jaanda]

The SBSFU application comes with already implemented YMODEM(1k) protocol. There is no option to change the protocol without implementing from scratch.

I would also like to see an example transfer method in linux included in the manual.
