-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [ apologies for lack of reply threading, I just signed up and don't have a handy message to reply to. btw, hi. I'm going to be coming to Boston LinuxWorld in a couple of weeks and figured I might aswell delurk now. I'm in the UK now but will be doing a road trip down from Ottawa. ] David Backeberg writes: | I don't know anything about gdb The original poster probably wanted the "remote" target anyway. | do you need to use gdb at all? He wants to talk to a gdb stub on the embedded target, most likely. Stubs are gdb clients that let you debug stuff from a host box - especially useful if you don't have ethernet on the board since with ethernet he could just use a stub running on a TCP/IP port. | Did they wire the pins in a nonstandard way He may not have working hardware handshaking on a USB adapter so might want to switch to standard 8N1 non-hardware handshaking at 9600bps. | If this device is compatible with minicom, you still need to know | which modem settings to try. Take out the dial strings from the Minicom Options, or use another client such as kermit or something similar. Personally, I still use minicom despite the recommendations of various others, because I'm stubborn and really need to be convinced that I am wrong :-) Minicom does support other options btw, for example I recently learned it can talk to UNIX domain sockets using a unix# "device" prefix. Great for debugging a kernel running within a recent VMware since VMware no longer supports talking to regular ttys how you might want it to.
