did you follow the instructions for downloading the firmware? are you in the directory with the files? use "ls" to see the files in Terminal

One small problem. When I open up the SLM firmware, there is no slm.hex like the magazine said. Just Makefile, and slm.c

Umm.. well then, maybe it's not related but, is it still need a kind of avr downloader to send the hex files to my minipov? since my friend told me that this device need it. And yet, i've only use serial cable from my computer directly to my minipov. thx for your attention.
