Hi All, I have an Overo Fire on a Tobi which I have setup according to the documentation via the console USB to an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32-bit machine using Kermit/Minicom as a terminal program. On power-up the console program displays the boot-up output but I am unable to type commands. I have disabled hardware-flow control and carrier-watch as per instructions. I have tried to boot the default NAND as well as an SDHC card which both boot and display output all the way to the login prompt. Are there any suggestions for getting this working? Or do I have a DOA unit? Thanks. Giovanni |

Hello I did not have much success with minicom or kermit on ubuntu given the console usb connection is USB serial from FTDI. Instead I loaded gtkterm and it has worked really well. obviously 115200 8N1N is the setting. ------Original Message------ From: Giovanni Foti To: gum...@li...

I use minicom with the Fire/Tobi combination. I find that when you change serial port parameters that you may have to save the settings (as default or a named setup) and then restart minicom. -----Original Message----- From: Ganley, Gregg [mailto:gg...@mi...] Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 3:50 PM To: 'gum...@li...'

Hi Gregg, gtkterm using /dev/ttyUSBx doesn't work either. I receive the console text but I am not able to transmit keyboard characters. Thanks for the suggestion.

I receive the console text > but I am not able to transmit keyboard characters. I use picocom under Ubuntu and it seems to work pretty nice. It allows the terminal to be resized (minicom seems to to have stopped doing that which is why I switched). picocom --baud=115200 --send-cmd sz --receive-cmd lrz /dev/ttyUSBx (replace x appropriately) If all of the terminal programs are behaving the same way, then you probably have an issue with your Tobi board. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

ckermit not gkermit on Ubuntu 10.04 (and 9.10, 9.04,) has always worked for me, on multiple machines. Never tried gkermit, no particular reason.

I've just started using picocom - it's lightweight, simple to use and, unlike screen, the console output doesn't disappear into a magic buffer, you can scrollback in your terminal window. http://freshmeat.net/projects/picocom/ For Mac users, it's also in Mac Ports...
