I have a malfunctioning system. I can't tell if it is the waysmall board or the gumstix connex 400xm. I have tried to log into the system from both a Linux and Windows terminal program but can't get a signal from the system. What advice do you have? I have measured the voltage at the power point on the waysmall and it is getting 4.0 volts. I have used two different null modem cables and that doesn't seem to be the problem either. Please advise.

By "can't get a signal" do you mean you're watching the voltages on the serial line, or that you just don't see anything on screen in your terminal program? Have you checked the settings on your terminal program to make sure you have baud rate, parity, flow control, etc set correctly? > What advice do you have?

By "can't get a signal" I mean that there is no response from the system in the terminal program. I did not make a breakout board for the serial line. I did check the terminal program for all the settings you describe for kermit, minicom, and hyperterminal for both serial ports and for both null modem cables. All permutations resulted in the same blank screen in the terminal window. > > What advice do you have?

The only thing I haven't tried is a usbnet connection. Unfortunately, I am running RHEL 4.0 and it does not have a 2.8.10 kernel. Mark |

Mark, I think I was having a similar problem the other night and haven't had time to explore it yet (I've been playing with mine at home). But look at the WAYSMALL picture here: <http://docwiki.gumstix.org/Image:Gumstix_rs232_lr_CIMG2070.jpg>. It seems that the first port (s0) is not the one at the corner of the board. That one is actually s1. s0 is the port next to the power connector. Can someone verify this for me? Interestingly enough, it appears that this information is only provided to people who are trying to connect using Windows at <http://docwiki.gumstix.org/index.php?title=3DConnecting_via_Serial_-_Win= d ows&printable=3Dyes>. The linux How-To doesn't actually tell you which port to plug into. Cheers, John -----Original Message----- From: gum...@li...

John, I tried both ports to no avail. I thought one of my two null modem cables might be mis-wired as well. But it didn't seem to matter which cable was patched into the port, I still couldn't connect to the gumstix.

Has anyone ever tried one of the 4GB Hitachi Microdrives in the netCF? http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/ 6814001/wo/eu4DtIeGvFo82Bxz7koa90M7QrH/5.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.4.1 If so, any experience to share? Thanks. |

This is probably not helpful. But just in case you missed it: I remember reading on the wiki that you want to power up your Gumstix AFTER you've connected it to the machine and launched ckermit/hyperterm.

John, I read that too. And considering how electrostatically sensitive these parts are, I took every precaution and read every step twice before executing it. Still got bupkis.

Sounds like you may well have a dead gumstix or waysmall board. Please contact do...@gu... to process an RMA; we'll replace both boards under warranty and determine if there is a problem there or not when you return the originals.
