Re: [Gumstix-users] USB instead of serial cable possible?

Hi Vinh,
I guess you mean the mini din 8 connector in the waysmall or tweener.
Its just a different connector, RS232 can be configured in fact with any
connector, provided the voltages and needs of the rs232 standard are
followed. The connector you name vga is the DB-9, and is commonly used in
peecees for the COM port, you also have DB-25, but less used. You can get a
usb<-->rs232 adapter for your lappie, in fact is useful for uploading root
images and common debugging.

Using usbnet, well, i dont know, but if you wait for gumstix to boot and
configured the bridge in windows or linux, after some minutes plug the cable
of usb and try to "ssh -l root <IP address of the gumstix>", that "should"
work, but cant tell
regards
