The following is an "EXACT STEPS" txt log i made while setting up g_serial from Linux, to WIndows. Note, that the Windows driver will be different for g_multi, but the process is essentially the same.
lsmod sudo modprobe g_serial lsmod ls -la /dev/ttyGS* sudo nano /etc/inittab ----> T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyGS0 115200 vt102 sudo init q <--- This reloads /etc/inittab without having to reboot. sudo nano /etc/modules ----> add g_serial save and exit. If you want the module loaded automatically at boot. Windows 7 host: open start menu right click computer select properties click windows update on lower left side click check for updates on top left side After searching windows update should find additional hardware to install. "ELMO LTD GMAS" device. Select this update, and install. open start menu right click computer select properties click device manager top left expand "Ports(COM & LPT )" select "ELMO GMAS(COMx)", where "x" is a valid COM port number. For me this was COM3 rightclick and select properties. Select the port settings tab on the top Change Bits per second to 115200 Change Flow control to none Click ok, and we're done here. Download, install, then open puTTY ( google is your friend ). Once open you'll be on the puTTY configuration page. COnnection type change to serial. Serial line change to the COMx value listed in device manager ( again for me COM3 ). Change speed from 9600 to 115200 Saved session change to your com port number ( COM3 for me ) On the very bottom left click serial. Change FLow control to none. Click Session on top left side, make sure all settings are as set above and click the save button on the far side middle( ish ). Now on the bottom right click the Open button. type in valid non root user name on the BBB. Followed by the usernames passwd. DOne.
