Hi Norman,
As a quick and dirty fix, you may manually hard-code the port at 'base-nova/src/include/base/internal/core_console.h' instead of obtaining the port from the BDA.
The q&d solution works. Thanks.
Funny thing, browsing the site feels 'faster' on Nova but the benchmarks show a lower maximum transfer rate of 1240 kB/s for Nova against 1500 for FOC.
But this is my totally unscientific benchmark :-)
Cheers, Guido.
