Cannot get (download) a file using kermit.

[Bumsik Kim]

Hi, I'm using STM32MP157A-DK1 with Starter Package.

I'm trying to follow instruction on how to using Kermit here:

https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_transfer_a_file_over_serial_console

I can successfully send files using the following command:

$ kermit kermit_ttyACM0.cfg -s myfile.txt

By using the command the file is downloaded in /home/root/myfile.txt

However, I cannot able to get (download) file using the following command:

$ kermit kermit_ttyACM0.cfg -g /etc/hosts

The prompt screen looks like it tries to get files several times but it failed:

It is so weird that I can send a file but cannot get a file.

Do I need to do any setup on STM32MP157A-DK1 to get a file?

Hi @Bumsik Kim​ 

Reproduce the same at my end.

Escalate the point internally for investigation.

Keep you posted

Good. Thanks for caring about this :)

​Hi, unfortunately the Kermit application included in the starter package, was not built with the right compilation flags. So the the Kermit server mode is not allowed.  The command kermit kermit_ttyACM0.cfg -g /etc/hosts cant work.

Thanks for reply. Then is it already fixed in the openstlinux distribution package, or do I need to fix ckermit_%.bbappend file?

Hi,

​It isn't fixed in the distribution package.

find attached the bbappend file to update in your distribution environment  meta-st-openstlinux/oe-core/recipes-support/ckermit/ckermit_%.bbappend
