In order to use Zmodem with Minicom, you need to first cross-compile the 'lrzsz' source code.
What happens if I can't get this file onto my target to begin with? If this your situation, don't panic! See my other serial transfers post.
Do a google search for lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz, untar it, and configure it with the following command:
CC=arm-linux-uclibc-gcc ./configure --host=arm-linux-uclibc --prefix=/home/andrew/lrzsz_out/
You'll obviously need to replace the CC, --host and --prefix with your own. Then run:
make; make install
From all the binaries which are built, you're only going to need lrz (for receiving) and lsz (for sending).

Then you press ctrl+a+z and then s , and then choose 'zmodem'.

Sending works similarly, except you use the ./lsz binary and select "receive" from the minicom menu instead.
