Re: How to get serial port connection to Neo Freerunner? / SOLVED
Hi Al and the list, From: Al Johnson on 03/29/11 03:17 PM 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? No... I do not fully understand your question, which probably means I'm not trying THAT :) What I understand now, is that for my purpose (running osmocon on the phone) serial connection is not needed, as in OpenMoko case the communication happens via TCP socket as explained in http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OpenMoko . Thanks anyway! D. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Thanks anyway! The Calypso in the OpenMokos has two serial interfaces. One is connected to the cpu and appears as /dev/ttySAC0, and the other is connected to the headset jack socket. According to their wiki[1][2] osmocon connects to the calypso through either of these serial ports, and provides a socket interface. If you run osmocon on the phone the obvious port to use is /dev/ttySAC0. If you were running osmocon on a separate machine you would connect via the headphone jack instead, just as you would for most of the other supported handsets[3]. The debug board contains a USB serial interface that can be used to connect to the headset jack socket[4], so when you mentioned the debug board I assumed you were using this method.
