Okay, here are two threads that talk about loading or flashing from the serial port:

These threads mention various methods of 'loading' and 'flashing' the audrey from the serial port, but they also seem to lack clarity.

So, assuming that both are possible,

1) What is the key combination to LOAD the Audrey through the serial port?
2) What is the key combination to FLASH the Audrey through the serial port?

I realize that the compactflash update method if easier, assuming that you have a compactflash card that works. I happen to have 2 16meg compactflash cards (too small) and 1 256mb kingston/toshiba compactflash card (to big I think...the audrey sees it as having 000000FFh sectors ... although it also says that the sector size is 30FFh instead of 200h or whatever equals 512 bytes). Anyhow, it would be nice to document thse keystrokes regardless.

Also, maybe some clarification when loading rather than flashing would be nice. When loading from compactflash or serial, is anything executed from the onboard flash as well?

Thanks!
