B20, NT4SP3
I have the same problem. Lots of code (in makefiles) like
        ./$(CODE_DIR)/gen_oem_beam.sh $@
has to be changed to
        bash ./$(CODE_DIR)/gen_oem_beam.sh $@
or
I have to specify the full path to the command interpreter in the shebang.

Really thinking to switch back to B19.

Thanks for any help,
Victor
