Hi All,
I installed an RS232 Shield from Cutedigi on my Galileo Board (on Intel's list of compatible shields), then attempted to connect my Galileo to an older terminal from which I would like to present it a Linux prompt. I reduced the baud rate to 9600, 8N1 (8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). I connected to an RS232 device and tried both straight and null modem cables. I am not getting any connectivity. Is there Linux configuration work required beyond plugging the shield on?
Thus far, I am booting off an SD card, and separately, as an aside, using a small stereo jack can reach the Linux prompt on my PC via PuTTY. But my end goal is to connect my Galileo to an older terminal via my RS232 shield which adjusts voltages for older equipment.
Anybody add a cutedigi RS232 shield and have it successfully work yet? I see it is on Intel's list of certified shields.
Any help or tips would be appreciated!
Thank you,
John Miranda
