Hi Donny, > yes i had gone through the site and i understand that for serial > communication i need a tweener or the usb to serial cable. > > will it not work with the usb net cable. usbnet doesn't connect with hyperterminal. usbnet makes the device look like a network adapter. You can use the serial gadget and make it look like a serial adapter, which would work with hyperterminal. The serial gadget isn't built in the default buildroot, and requires some changes in your setup files. I know that the usb stuff works fine in rev 1161, not sure how well it works in recent buildroots.

Hi don, > i also assume that the tweener also does the same job Yep. Your "stack" will be a lot less stable when using the tweener, so you need to be really careful handling it when its powered on. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

hi did u mean to say getting a usb to serial convertor is better than the tweener. and wat sort of stability issues might rise up. i basicaly want to connect to internet through host and play music don On Dec 20, 2007 7:29 PM, Dave Hylands <dhy...@gm...> wrote: > Hi don, > > > i also assume that the tweener also does the same job > > Yep. > > Your "stack" will be a lot less stable when using the tweener, so you > need to be really careful handling it when its powered on. > > -- > Dave Hylands > Vancouver, BC, Canada > http://www.DaveHylands.com/ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.

Hi Don, > did u mean to say getting a usb to serial convertor is better than the > tweener. and wat sort of stability issues might rise up. i basicaly want to > connect to internet through host and play music No - I meant using a serial adapter is better than using the tweener. Stability is purely physical. When using the tweener, its much more likely that your boards will become separated and possibly damage them. If you securely fasten the boards to each other (for example using spacers and nuts & bolts), then using the tweener is fine. Having boards come apart while they're powered runs the risk of permanent damage. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

hello currently i am using the cygwin on the windows as i couldnt get a serial connection to make it work with the hyperterminal. so the connection is now - connex, gpsstix, wifistix. and i have the cygwin. how can i get started to get to hear some sound from the gpsstix. i have also plugged in a headset to the gpsstix. i had used hyperterminal and used the gumstix on linux as well.so would it be some similar commands like minicom -s and so on. or is it completey different. kindly comment don On Dec 20, 2007 9:22 PM, Dave Hylands <dhy...@gm...> wrote: > Hi Don, > > > did u mean to say getting a usb to serial convertor is better than the > > tweener. and wat sort of stability issues might rise up. i basicaly want > to > > connect to internet through host and play music > > No - I meant using a serial adapter is better than using the tweener. > > Stability is purely physical.
