Question: How do I access a Windows COM port from cygwin? I'd like to open a terminal connection to an application I have running in an external MCU. Easy business with TeraTerm but I don't know how to do it from the shell in Cygwin.
Eventually, I want to use Octave to generate some hex data and connect from there. I'm using 38400 baud 8/N/1 on what TeraTerm sees as COM1. I'm running Cygwin on 32-bit XP. Thanks, Borge P.S A nice-to-have would be to make logical serial ports, where incoming data appears (selectively) in one or both terminals and where outgoing data from the two terminals is mux'ed. That way I can use Octave for data generation and another terminal as command interface. Anybody heard of functionality like that? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Windows-COM-port-use-tp18129461p18129461.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
