Re: is there serial access
Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 3:31 pmHey all, I am trying to connect to the parrallela board via the serial pins so that I don't have to use an HDMI monitor and USB hub for keyboard/mouse. I bought the RPi Serial Connection wires to connect to the parrallela pins, and downloaded putty to connect to the parallela board as detailed here: http://www.elinux.org/RPi_Serial_Connection
The connection seems to work fine and data is being passed, but whenever the script gets to:
"Starting kernel ...
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel"
It simply hangs here indefinitely. What I think SHOULD happen is i should be given a login prompt. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
The following is my putty serial port settings:
Serial line to connect to: COM4
Speed (baud): 115200
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Parity: None
Flow control: None
I have also tried to connect my hdmi monitor while I am trying to use putty to login thinking that maybe the OS wasn't starting the login script since there wasn't a console plugged into its mini-hdmi port, but this was to no avail.
I would greatly appreciate any insight into this you good people could offer.
