Hey folks,
i am trying to set my desktop serial console in order to be able to
have serial access to my soekris box.
hola gustavo,
i've just done this. perhaps you are over-complicating things.
#1 you do need the same speed at both ends
#2 you may find it easier the first few times round using minicom (packages)
# set up serial parameters
# minicom -s
# minicom
& you should be away.
NB i used 19200, 8n1 instead of 9600. this seems to be a bit less unreliable
during boot phase, but faster during normal usage. YMMV.
9600 is the standard for "everything" else so perhaps its better to set your
soekris to 9600 to match the rest.
cheers, scorch
