Hi.

I understand you opinion Greg.

There are lots of documentation about Linux Kernel. For example, I have been studying "Linux Kernel Development 3rd Edition".

I am a newbie also and have read/studied tons of books on the Linux kernel over the last three years; however, the best way to learn the kernel and device drivers is to take on a small project. By doing this I have learned so much more.


agreed.

In addition, I spent a lot of time trying to create a serial TTL port
to RS232 serial cable with no luck. I understand the need for this; (to boot into a specific kernel); however I am not sure how to create this cable. I was able to boot into a kernel of my choosing a different way; but can someone provide guidance on the creation of
the cable for my own edification.


I've had very good luck with this [1] cable.  You can get the wire-end variant, 
but honestly, I like the plug better.  The pins come out easily, so I can 
reorder the pins depending on the project.

hth,

Jason.
