Background information:
I'm currently using C-Kermit 6.0.192, 6 Sep 96, for Linux as a console
for 128 Suns and CMD RAID controllers. I'm running on a RedHat Linux 5.2
box with a pair of Cyclades multi-port serial cards. I'm quite happy
with the set up. I need to flash the firmware on my RAID controllers
(CMD 5440), and this is the area of my question.
The controller provides a facility to do an ASCII upload to itself. The
controller then converts the code to some binary format and then burns
it to the eeprom. The controller manufacturer provides instructions on
how to use Windows Terminal (terminal.exe) to do this, and it works
fine. I'd like to figure out a way to use kermit to avoid carrying a
laptop to about 40 RAID boxen. Here are the guidelines the manual
suggests:
1) use software flow control (easy: set flow-control xon/xoff)
2) must use ascii file transfer mode
3) must instruct terminal program to end each line of text with a
carriage return/line feed.
Items 2 and 3 have me a little confused. First, I'm not sure if kermit
can do straight ascii uploads. If this is the case, then I'll look
elsewhere. Second, for item 3, since I'm using a unix application (vice
windows), I'm not sure this applies to me.
So, based on these requirements does it seem that C-Kermit will do the
trick for me?
Thanks,
John
