Hi all, We've been trying to get the serial link between the ROACH-2 and a PC, and we haven't had any success at all.
These are the cable configurations we've tried: 1. USB-A Male (ROACH)/USB-A Male (PC) 2. USB-A Male (ROACH)/USB-Serial Adapter/DB9 Female (PC) 3. RS232 Pin Headers on-board/DB9 Male Connector/DB9 Female (PC) Unfortunately, none of these register any activity on the PC. These configurations have been tested on the following operating systems: 1. RHEL 6.5 2. Ubuntu 11.04 When I connect the cables up and run dmesg, I see no activity. I've tried listening on ttyS#, ttyUSB# for anything and nothing happens in my minicom terminal. Also, our USB-Serial Adapter has a status LED to indicate that it is powered for conversion, but the LED does not light when connected to the ROACH-2. This makes me suspicious that the USB connector on the ROACH-2 is not functioning. Has anybody else had a problem with this, or do we unfortunately have a couple of faulty ROACH-2 boards? Thanks guys, Richard Black
