Hi again,

First of all, thank you very much for refering to my question.

A new concept is being considered now - the big picture is that we are talking about a complicated system, which contains several processors on different boards, communicating solely through a serial RS232 UART.

So what we have now, is a Host-PC at one end, several intermediating Uarts

in the middle and a Nios II at the other far end.

Theoretically, RedBoot can now play a role again, but maybe the timeouts for the incoming-outgoing messages between the host and the Nios should be changed, or maybe another issues which I am not aware of should be reconsidered...

Can you think about a solution here? What must be considered?

Thank you again,

Ofer
