Other output to add. I can't get into xmodem, because it is set to read only. Is there a way to change this? Output below:
List of filesystems currently registered:
flash[0]: (read-write)
xmodem[1]: (read-only)
null[2]: (read-write)
bs[3]: (read-only)
switch: dir xmodem
unable to stat xmodem/: permission denied
switch: dir xmodem:
unable to stat xmodem:/: invalid argument
