2.2 CABLE SETUP

A. Serial cable setup for using minicom
' minicom' is connectivity application software that connects HostPC and target device using serial cable. Before you use minicom you MUST choose PDA in UART check box otherwise, sending and receiving of data will not be functional. Setup your environment as below;

  • Go "Setting (Tab) -> Sync Setup (Icon)" then setup UART to PDA. Clicking [X],
    •    

    If you finish UART setup, then you can execute minicom. Give following command with '-s' variable for showing available options of minicom.

    # minicom -s

  • Move to "Serial Port Setup" press [Enter]

  • Change following values. If you want to change, press [a] key. The focus will move to edit-field.

  • If all setting variables are changed as picture shown, escape by [Esc] key.

  • Move to "Save setup as dfl" and press [Enter]. Newer setup will be saved.

  • Now you finished minicom setting. Move down to "Exit" to start minicom.

  • Execute minicom by following command:

    • # minicom

  • Press [Enter]. You can see console of i519 as following picture shown.

    •  

    B. USB cable Setup
    Likewise serial cable, USB cable MUST be controlled by PDA. Do following instructions;

  • Go "Setting (Tab) -> Sync Setup (icon)" and then setup USB to PDA. Click [X]

    •    

    Redhat Linux supports USB Ethernet by default. When you connect cable to PC, it notices interface and then loads "CDCEther" module. You can check whether the module is uploaded or not, by following command in Linux HostPC.

    # lsmod

    i519 is ready to connect PC because it has been assigned IP 192.168.129.2 to "usbf"(USB Ethernet) by default. Following command in PDA will show you active network configuration.

    # ifconfig

     

    Assign appropriate IP of USB Ethernet in Linux HostPC as following command to connect HostPC to i519.

    # ifconfig eth1 192.168.129.1 up

    You can check connectivity by following command. If you get same results as follow screen, then cable is connected properly and network is active.

    # ifconfig

     

    Connectivity between i519 and Linux HostPC are finished. Check current status by following command.

    # ping 192.168.129.2 (at host PC)

    or

    # ping 192.168.129.1 (at i519)
