[Hackable:1] serial terminal program
I've been wanting to try using my freerunner as a serial terminal to debug servers via serial. I've got a USB->serial adapter that H:1 recognizes and assigns to /dev/ttyUSB0. My problem is, minicom won't run because the shell screen is to small. Mickeyterm fails to find a bunch of python modules and things via dbus. I've even tried cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0 but it says the line is busy. Anyone know of a serial terminal program that does work on H:1?

Is there a microcom? (-= Actually, it works like a dream! I plugged my USB-> serial adapter from my FR to an IBM server serial port, ran picocom and was able to log in. Only problem: The IBM expects the terminal to 80 char X 24 lines and the terminal on the FR is only 39 char X 24 lines. Guess I'll see how bad this limit really is when I NEED to use this.

My xterm on my FR offers much more characters :-) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

The other problem I've noticed with my H:1, if I try to rotate the screen from the AUX menu, I get the WSOD )-= A rotated screen should give me enough chars, but I don't know if it'd do 24 lines. -Original Message- From: community-boun...@lists.openmoko.org [mailto:community-boun...@lists.openmoko.org] On Behalf Of Timo Juhani Lindfors Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 10:15 AM To: List for Openmoko community discussion Subject: Re: [Hackable:1] serial terminal program "Gay, John (GE Energy Services, Non-GE)" writes: > Actually, it works like a dream!
