I updated an alix.3c3 box from OpenBSD 4.6 release to 6.0 release recently via bsd.rd install kernel. This went very smoothly, except that now I can't get a serial stream via the DB9 serial connector.
On a linux box, I do indeed receive the (geiger data) lines like these at a speed of 9600 baud: #513302 Timestamp: 733348928 Delta_Timestamp: 60000 Total_Impulses: 39769137 Delta_Impulses: 90 so up to the connector at the end of the cable arriving from geiger interface the data is coming, and in can be read and stored, etc. But on that alix box, nothing seems to arrive at the serial line. I tried all of these (the <x> were in 0 t o5): # cu -d -l ttyC<x> -s 9600 Connected to /dev/ttyC<x> (speed 9600) Result: no data at all arrives. I don't see what went wrong.
