Re: Code Download via Serial Issue
Last year I had trouble downloading hex code using IFILoader. It would fail about 4 times out of 5. It turns out that the serial port on my Dell Latitude CPi didn't really quite work at 115Kbaud. I borrowed an IBM laptop and that worked fine, but I couldn't keep it.

My solution was to purchase a USB to serial converter (BAFO 810):
