So, you are running `tip' on the OI computer, using it to connect to the microcontroller over the serial line. `tip' uses the /etc/remote file to configure the connection. See `man remote' for information. Are you connecting through /dev/cua/a or /dev/cua/b? Those are the first two serial ports for calling out to another system. For logging in, they are named /dev/term/a and /dev/term/b . > I have two native forths that run on the MCU but w/ different > handling of NL & CR in the output. > On one I'm missing the CR, so the output from line to line moves > across and down the terminal window. `tip' is supposed to behave like an ASCII terminal, sending a CR when you type the [Enter] key. The remote system is supposed to echo the line as you type it, and then add a LF. Something's wrong here. > I *expect* "opost onlcr" in /etc/ttydefs to fix this, but it seems > not to have any effect. When does /etc/ttydefs get read?

No, that file is only read by `ttymon', the daemon that handles serial port logins. I assume that the microcontroller is not logging in to the OI computer. > The more I read, the more confused I get.

No, that's not necessary. `man tip' should have useful information. -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
