Hello,

i have an embedded ts7800 that i need to connect to my laptop(suse 11.0) through Serial port, i use adaptors so i use my usb on my side, and serial port on the emdedded side

i dont have much experience on this type of coneections so i ask if any of you can help me. i searched the web but didnt have good answers.

does anyone know how to connect it so i can reach the ts7800 console through my laptop?

ts8000 has a debian embedded distribution
thanks

You'll need something like minicom, a serial terminal emulator. There are others, but that's the one I know of. Very much like Procomm from back-in-the-day...basic vt100 emulation via serial.

minutes ago i found this tutorial

http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/Serial...l-console.html

on the last part it says test it with minicom,

i open on console window minicom -s , then which option should i set??

thanks

That's for a serial console over linux, your embedded device probably already has agetty running. You want to set which serial port you're going out of, the baud rate, parity, and stop-bit. Can't help you with baud/stop/parity, that depends on what you're hooking up to. The device, since you're using a USB to serial converter, will probably be something like /dev/ttyUSB0, or the like. Get your system booted, then plug in your usb/serial converter, and type in "dmesg". At the bottom, you should see something like the ttyUSB device there. Set minicom up to use it.

you were right i had the /dev/ttyUSB0 device so i set minicom to that one.

but i keep being offline , image posted

You have to set your baud,parity,stop-bits too. Is your other device on? Do you need a null-modem to swap TX/RX? If you can take that same cable set and use it on Windows Hyperterminal, not sure what the problem might be. Sounds like the other device isn't talking...
