RE: Download timeout problems on Embedded Planet CLLF (was Patch for zsrec.c)

Are other people also having problems with download timeouts on
Embedded Planet
boards? (or even if you're not, I'd love to hear what you're
doing different).

I assume you mean using tftp.  If so ...
I have had the download timeout problems.  It is not related (directly) to
the EP boards.  It is more of a tftp issue.  If there is alot of network
traffic, tftp might not receive its packets in time.  If you have a large
file with alot of network traffic, it defintely will timeout.  I worked
around these issues by isolating the EP and host from the other network
traffic and/or splitting the srec file into smaller parts.

PS: we are working on a ELF binary dnload capabiltiy, watch EPs website next
month.  That will speed up the dnload.
