Comminicating with Serial Port

Hello, all

I have two Neutrino systems. One is my development system, which is
on a regular desktop. The other is my test system, which is on an
embedded system whose only interface (currently) is a serial port.
What program can I use on the development system to talk to the serial
port on the testbed?

Cheers,
Kevin

Take a look at qtalk. You should be able to run a shell on one
of your serial ports on the testbed, and qtalk to the shell from
your development system.

OK I can now talk to the testbed. However, it doesn’t seem to be
transmitting carriage returns. It sends linefeeds, so the cursor goes
to the next line, but it continues the next line at the end of the
first line. For example:

This
is
a
test

Comes out as

This
is
a
test

Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

Cheers,
Kevin

If your serial port is set to +raw on the client, try setting it to
+edit.
