You can paste the selection by pressing ^A], which will input thepreviously selected text, so you can save useful snippets of a commandby copying with ^A topaste it. This lets you scroll through your output andselect sections by pressing enter then moving your cursor to the end ofyour selection and pressing enter again. Screen is sometimes denounced for its bloat, usually by tmuxproponents, but these features come in useful, and screen's wideavailability makes it useful to learn these features. And FYI, the bootrom support Xmodem-1K giving a nice transferboost over regular Xmodem. It eats the multiple choice menu after the transfer, but you can press to view it again.

Then when I start the Xmodem download on the bootrom side I execute CTRL-A “:exec !! sx -kb firmware.bix” in screen. I start screen with ‘screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200’. Hopefully I’ve sprinkled enough relevant terms in this post to help somebody else with this issue. It was a little struggle to figure out the correct syntax for this, because Screen has a google-incompatible name. This seems fine, but for some reason it dumps a few random characters on the serial line after the file is transferred, falsely answering the multiple choice menu to decide between runtime, diag, multiple image or loader. So instead of switching between PuTTy and HyperTerminal all the time, I tried to use a different terminal emulator ‘TeraTerm Pro’. so I often used HyperTerminal, but the GUI of Hyperterminal annoys me. PuTTy on Windows does not support zmodem, xmodem,Įtc.
