Hi Lonnie, Thanks for helpful link. But I am going to use USB port for memory stick. Serial port is very useful during development cycle, but once system in production it supposed to work fine, it will be away from computer desk and the only way to access it is through network. That leaves serial port wasted for nothing. I've been using linux for a while, but not consider myself an expert, so forgive me if my question is stupid. My understanding is: there should be some application or service that sends console output to serial port. Just tell me what is it. I'll experiment with it and then tell everybody about results. Thanks, Yury.
