serial access on first boot
Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2017 6:07 am
I just bought a fitlet xa10, and got 8GB of DDR3L and a 250GB mSATA installed.
I purchased this serial cable:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GA ... UTF8&psc=1
and even got this null modem in case I needed it:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/75640 ... UTF8&psc=1
I apply power, the green light appears on the button, I then:
ls -la /dev/ttyUSB*
to see what new device is found, which is ttyUSB0
I then use:
minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0
to connect to it. I can see a light in the serial cable end light per keystroke, but I can never see any output in my terminal. tried with/without null modem. held in button until it turned yellow (what mode is this?) let up, pushed again it turns green. I never see it boot over the serial line. I am in the dialout group and the group perms on the character device are rw.
What am I missing?
Thanks for any assistance
