How to get serial port connection to Neo Freerunner?
Hello everyone, I have my Freerunner connected to the PC via USB cable. SSH terminal is open. I want to access the phone via serial interface (to flash osmocombb firmware). Could/should the same usb cable be used for that? I have created a node (mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0) and inserted module (modprobe usbserial) on the PC, but usbserial does not find any device. The report is only: usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial USB Serial support registered for generic usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic usbserial: USB Serial Driver core What am I missing? Thanks a lot, D. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Maybe you ask other people at osmocombb if and how they did their firmware upgrade on the FR. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Am I right in thinking you're using the debug board to get a serial port level shifted to 3.3V, and connecting that to the Calypso serial interface through the headset jack?
