Dear Richard,

The XMODEM protocol supported by eLua uses 128-byte packets (the
default, original XMODEM protocol). In your case, if minicom (it probably
uses -1k by default?) doesn't support this with sx, your transfer will
fail.

I remember trying teraterm [1] for XMODEM in eLua and it worked well.

Can someone please suggest a program for using XMODEM on GNU/Linux?

Best,
