The COMx syntax is, unfortunately, only useful with older cygwin
versions that 'came with' TOS pre 1.1.10(or 11?). In some uses
with some newer versions "they" started using the nNIX /dev syntax.
I am purposely vague about the "somes" because I don't remember if
download and message comm are fellow travelers, or if COM still works
for one, and there is no way to squeeze a "version number" from cygwin
(...actually there is: "cygcheck -s" will cough up a dll version, but
everyone seems to deny it's applicability...).
Anyway the bottom line is: try every possible combination of chars...

Hi,
Since in your message you ask for advise on cygwin I assume you're
running cygwin? If so, I think you cannot use unix-like device names for
the serial port. There was a message on the mailing list a few hours ago
that described how you can find out on Windows which port name was
assigned to a usb <-> serial converter.
Since I'm not using windows, I might nor remember everything correctly.
Basically you can right-click on my computer, then select manage system,
then device manager. In the device manager you'll find an entry about
ports. In there you should see the port name and a short description.
Once you know the port name, for instance COM7, you can use this as
parameter to the make command. You'll probably use a command like:
make mica2 install,0 mib510,COM7
Cheers,
Urs

Hi Everyone,
Thanks so much for the helpful replies.
I tried all the suggestions but still receive error messages,
I tried:
MIB510='/dev/ttyUSB0' make mica2 install.0 mib510
and the error was:
Error: No such file or directory -> /dev/ttyUSB0
make [1]: ***[reinstall.0] Error 1
make: ***[install.0] Error 2
I tried:
MIB510='/dev/ttyUSB1' make mica2 install.0 mib510
the error was the same:
Error: No such file or directory -> /dev/ttyUSB1
make [1]: ***[reinstall.0] Error 1
make: ***[install.0] Error 2
Another question is, how do we check the hardware settings for the ports
that are being used?
I know this question is a bit silly but how can we copy the error
messages or any other messages from the cygwin window? The text cant be
highlighted to copy.
Looking forward to ya replies. Thank you very much.
regards,
U-Wei
