I don't manage to boot via UART. The usual outcome is:

Sending boot message. Please reboot the target...\
Sending boot image...
  0 % [......................................................................]
  2 % [......................................................................]
  5 % [......................................................................]
  7 % [......................................................................]
 10 % [......................................................................]
 13 % [..................................xmodem: Connection timed out

If I try to boot a barebox-globalscale-mirabox.img (provided by
ezequielg in #mvlinux), I get:

$ scripts/kwboot -b ../barebox-globalscale-mirabox.img -t /dev/ttyUSB1 
Sending boot message. Please reboot the target...\
Sending boot image...
  0 % [......................................................................]
  5 % [......................................................................]
 10 % [......................................................................]
 14 % [......................................................................]
 19 % [......................................................................]
 24 % [.................................DDR3 Training Sequence - Ver 2.1.6 
DDR3 Training Sequence - Number of DIMMs detected: 1
+xmodem: Connection timed out

And funny enough, during testing I added

	select(fd + 1, &rfds, NULL, NULL, &tv);

to kwboot_tty_recv after the read, this results reproduibly into a
single NAK and "BootROM: Invalid header checksum".

When booting from nand (as shipped by Netgear) the output starts with:

------------------------

BootROM 1.08
Booting from NAND flash
DDR3 Training Sequence - Ver 2.1.7 
DDR3 Training Sequence - Ended Successfully 
BootROM: Image checksum verification PASSED
...
------------------------

That would be great, yes.

Best regards
Uwe
