Package: systemd Version: 241-7~deb10u5 Severity: normalGoal: enabling serial communication over null modem cable between two Debian 10 hosts. Steps to reproduce: 1. Connect null-modem cable to both machines. 2. Edit /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8" GRUB_TERMINAL=console (update-initramfs -u of course) 3. Enable serial systemd service: # systemctl enable serial-getty@ttyS0.service 4. Reboot. Expected result: Serial comm works, command used: tio -f soft /dev/ttyS0 Actual results: tio or minicom spit out garbage characters. Cause: Incorrect order of arguments to agetty in the serial-getty@ttyS0.service unit file. It is: ExecStart=/sbin/agetty --autologin root -8 --keep-baud 115200,38400,9600 ttyS0 xterm-256color While it should be like: ExecStart=/sbin/agetty --autologin root -8 --keep-baud ttyS0 115200 xterm-256color Note: order of port and baud rate is reversed. man agetty says it should be: agetty [options] port [baud_rate...] [term] In the default service definition baud rate PRECEDES port. After using my config line above serial commuication works fine. agetty [options] port [baud_rate...] [term] In the default service definition baud rate PRECEDES port. After using my config line above serial commuication works fine.
According to the examples in man agetty, both should work. Andreas, can you comment here? If what MK is saying, should the "EXAMPLE" section in man agetty be updated?
