The serial-over-usb provides you with 2 serial devices. The second one is the console. The first is the JTAG interface to flash the bios. # cu -l cuaU1 -s 115200 The device number in cuaU1 is depending on how many serial devices you have over usb. When you plug the serial-over-usb in you should see something like these lines in dmesg/messages.

Howdy! I have 2 of them and cu works fine. As root you can do this. The serial-over-usb provides you with 2 serial devices. The second one is the console. The first is the JTAG interface to flash the bios. # cu -l cuaU1 -s 115200 Perfect! I hardly wait to get the device!

I suspect Attos tried to connect to wrong device name, or it was on some older freebsd version? Also, there were more than one version of plug, with maybe different hardware parts. Not related to freebsd: forum posts point to error after changing root password on the plug. Someone experienced it? I see no reason to have any problem on default ubuntu 9.04 with simple passwd. Almost all posters made apt-get update first. Thank you all for reply.

Hi, Ronald! Please provide a link to the forum post. Otherwise I can only guess what you mean. There is no error because of changing the password. But there are some thing broken in the default install (missing dir, missing timezone, etc.). Follow the commands in this link and you're ready to go. http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/QuickStart It was not easy to find the link again. plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=110.0 I found more complaints over lost root pass all over forums. Simply people mess something without trail what it was. Once more, I still have no device, so cannot try out anything. Thanks for help.

Re: sheevaplug questions
Hi Zoran, I have a Sheevaplug but I haven't been able to use the usb serial interface from my FreeBSD box. What I ended up with is using a EEE-PC with Ubuntu and minicomm set up as modem-less connection. I only needed this to set the plug to use a SD card for the main storage and not wear off the internal flash memory and have extra storage. Under normal operation you do not need the serial console since you can connect to it using ssh once the plug boots and acquires an IP using DHCP. The default name is debian or look into the DHCP server log and find the assigned IP. Cheers On Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 11:00 AM, Zoran Kolic zko...@sbb.rs wrote: Howdy!
