I just got my robotics wifie pro pack. I sandwiched the verdex pro XM4 motherboard between the netpro expansion board with wifi module and the robostix. I attached the Acroname USB connector (http://acroname.com/robotics/parts/S23-USB-INT-ASSM.html) to the gumstix output pins on robostix and hook it up to my mac. With the correct driver installed and the 5V power supply attached to the robostix board, I tried to terminal into the gumstix from Kermit, it shows that the it recognizes and is connecting to the port, but nothing happened. No booting message, nothing, just blank. I flipped the orientation of my connector and tried again, still nothing. I put a wire between RX and TX on my USB connector, and I do get echo back from it, so I know it's not the problem with my terminal software or my cable. To be absolutely sure, I took just the verdex pro board and attached it to tweener board and hook it up to my linux desktop with the serial cable that came with the package. Still, nothing happened. Below is what got printed on the screen [xxxx@xxxxxxxx:~]> sudo kermit Password: C-Kermit 8.0.209, 17 Mar 2003, for Red Hat Linux 8.0 Copyright (C) 1985, 2003, Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. Type ? or HELP for help. (/home/aliu/) C-Kermit>connect Connecting to /dev/ttyS0, speed 115200 Escape character: Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS): enabled Type the escape character followed by C to get back, or followed by ? to see other options. ---------------------------------------------------- Is my verdex pro motherboard defected? Or am I doing anything wrong? Any advice will help. Thanks! Annie |
