Re: [ts-7000] Console minicom doesnt working

[Ricardo Gabriel <>]

Hi Waman,

First, follow these steps:

sudo apt-get install minicom

Then,

1) Configure sudo. Become super user:

su -
password

2)  Edit /etc/sudoers

vim /etc/sudoers

And add the following line to the end of the file:

useracct   ALL=(ALL)     NOPASSWD:ALL
3)  Force save from vim:

:wq!

4) Verify /etc/sudoers permissions

ls -l /etc/sudoers

-r--r----- 1 root root 509 2010-07-20 15:37 /etc/sudoers

This is mode 440, as it must be for sudo to work properly.

5) Now confirm sudo functionality:
sudo cat /etc/shadow

This should dump the file without you having to type the password.

Reboot your PC.

6) Launch minicom with configuration option

minicom -s

and you will see the minicom setup menu:

             +-----[configuration]------+
            | Filenames and paths      |
            | File transfer protocols  |
            | Serial port setup        |
            | Modem and dialing        |
            | Screen and keyboard      |
            | Save setup as dfl        |
            | Save setup as..          |
            | Exit                     |
            | Exit from Minicom        |
            +--------------------------+


7) Set serial configuration
Choose "Serial port setup" and make the following selections :
Item    Setting    Value
A    Serial Device    /dev/ttyS0
B    Lockfile Location    /var/lock
C    Callin Program   
D    Callout Program   
E    Bps/Par/Bits    115200 8N1
F    Hardware Flow Control    No
G    Software Flow Control    No

8) Save minicom configuration
Now choose "Save setup as dfl" to lock in those settings.  If this step gives you a permission error, not to worry open another shell and use sudo/su to allow the useracct to save the config.

Now, you should be able to communicate with your TS7200 board .

I hope to have helped you. Tell me if you had success.

Regards,


Ricardo

Asunto: [ts-7000] Console minicom doesnt working

 

Hi All,
I just got my ts-7200, but when I tried connect to board using minicom theres nothing shown up.
I even cannot see the booting process
the board: JP 2,3 ON
my PC : monicom 115200 8N1 no flowcontrol, null modem cable

is there something I have missed?

Thanks
Wawan
