RE: [Gumstix-users] Grabbing ttyS0

[Leigh W. <le...@pd...>]

OK, I've got USBnet going between my gumstix and my XP box.  Now, I need
a way to transfer files.  I'm thinking about tftp, but I can't find it
on the gumstix, or a way to build it in.  Is there one I can build in?
tftp is built-in to XP, so this might be the way to go.

I would like to avoid third-party stuff on the Win side, but I guess I
could find some scp utility or something...

Thanks.

All sorts of good things are possible with SSH. You could either use=20
ttyS0 for your app and control the Gusmtix via an SSH connection (which=20
is what I am doing for a touch-screen system which used ttyS0). Or,=20
perhaps you could leave the console as is and use USBnet to get TCP/IP=20
connectivity and then use scp to copy the files backwards and forwards.=20
I don't know how much you know about these tools but I'm happy to give=20
you some hints off the list if you require.
