serial on fitpc2i appears broken
Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2012 5:35 am
I have fitpc2i (serial 120111-092). I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 server on the box.
I've had no luck trying to access the serial port which comes up as /dev/ttyS0.
I've installed minicom (http://linux.die.net/man/1/minicom) to test the connection:
It appers that either the mini-serial cable that was shipped with the unit is bad or the serial/UART on the board isn't working.
I've tested the source of the serial signal I'm trying to read via a USB-to-RS232 coverter from FTDI:(http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documen ... -PLUS4.pdf)
The signal comes in just fine (over /dev/ttyUSB3) once I set the serial port options (via setserial and stty). However, if I plug in the serial port using the supplied cable and perform the same settings with /dev/ttyS0, there is nothing.
Is there anything I can do to test the cable or fitpc?
Thanks,
Dean
