Thundercomm TurboX C8550 - Using Serial Console
UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) is a circuit in charge of transmitting and receiving information in serial form. The communication is done exclusively between two devices which typically handle data in parallel form, so the UART does the conversion from one to the other.
This section will help you into accessing the board with UART, please follow the next steps:
1. Plug a micro-USB cable between your PC and the UART Debug port from the board.
2. Open the tool of your preference to work with UART data (i.e. minicom, picocom, etc), and select the /dev/ACMX device with the settings 115200 8N1. For example, using minicom, this would be the configuration:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| A - Serial Device : /dev/ttyACM0 |
| 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 |
| |
| Change which setting? |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
3. Log in to the board with the configured credentials.
