Phew - Got it working. It seems most guides about the wiring are incorrect.
This page is wrong http://www.tomjudge.com/index.php/SS4000-E/Serial_Cable
This page has the correct wiring -

At least the bottom part. I soldered 3=3, 5
What I don't understand is why one would work and not the other if
we're (re)soldering the wires ourselves?

Redboot gives a 1 second prompt through ttys0 before booting the image.
From everything that I have read, getting an active serial connection
is pretty much step 1.

H Danny,
Will let you know if I make any progress. Feel like such a noob, which I
am when it comes to this embedded stuff.

I wrote to this list a few weeks back with similar problems Mark. I
couldn't get any communication via the serial ports.
Two null modem cables and two idc10s to db9 brackets. Tried
resoldering the correct pinouts on the bracket too, nada. No garbage
no nothing.
Let us know if you make
Hi,
The java app is just to see if it possible to test the cable somehow. I
can connect to the serial port on the pc and I know that that is working.
Just writing the data receive event handlers now to see if I can get
anything.
I will try screen with the serial device too. Its all a learning cur

Hi John,
I first tried the three wires as per tom judge page, then all of them as
per the Russian page. Still no luck. Currently I am reading up on serial
communication on http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Serial_Programming
I think I may have to write a little java app to see whats wrong with the
cab

Hi John,
I am new to this so maybe I don't understand the terminology. I assumed
the NC on the tom judge page meant "no connection", i.e no wires to be
soldered. On the pinouts page from the Russian domain the remaining pins
are connected and not necessarily straight through.
The pins that are s
Hi Willem,
Thanks for the info. Yup, I know maybe trying too many things at once,
seems its the only way though as I can't find any shop over here with the
correct null modem cable. Hopefully I at least get part way there.
Once again thanks for the feedback.
regards
Mark
