For serial you need to go into device manager and see which COM port windows has assigned to your serial device. On Windows 8.1. . . 1) Right click "ThisPC" and select properties 2) Top( ish ) left, click device manager 3) Scroll down to Ports( COM & LPT ), expand it. 4) Look for your serial converter adapter. At this point depending on your hardware the COM port # will be a part of the device name, or you may need to go into the device properties to find out. While you're in properties though, you may want to look at the device speed settings and all that. Here, on Windows 8.1, I have the wrong settings in here for the baud rate, and it works fine. Mines set to 9600bps Then on to puTTY: Once opened 1) Serial Line field needs to reflect the correct COM port for your device. 2) The Speed field needs to be: 115200 3) Connection type needs tobe set to "serial" ( radial button ) Then it should just work. For ssh I typically ssh in from a Linux support system specifically for beaglebones. As it's as simple as: $ ssh debian@beglebone <enter passwd> And I'm done. I do ssh into that support system from Windows, but there are so many guides for using puTTY, and ssh from Windows, you really don't need me to explain that. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
