Hello陳 冠儒

Which BSP are you using? The FSL Community BSP does have a minicom package. You may add it to your local.conf file as:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = “ minicom”

hi,gusarambula:

thanks for your help.

But,

Another problem:

I use minicom on the board only open tty0 (use usb-to-serial line) but can not input text, The PC can open ttyUSB0 and can input text, this is a problem?

please help me,thanks.

(中譯:我在板子上使用minicom但只能打開tty0(use usb-to-serial 線)卻不能打字，而在PC上可以打開ttyUSB0且可以打字，這是出什麼問題呢?

         請幫助我，感謝您。

Hello 陳 冠儒,

To be honest I haven't worked with minicom on the i.MX6 SABRE board as this board uses the FTDI  FT232 to connect the UART to the PC trough USB.

If you are using a custom board this could be an alternative.

hi,gusarambula:

thanks for your help.

I have solved this problem.

imx6 for L3.10.53 yocto built support minicom.

I set ttyUSB0 (on PC ) and ttymxc0 (on imx6 board) can input text.

thanks!!!

But,

How do the board with PC rs232 communication, because while PC is connected to rs232 transfer usb connector, the board is connected rs232 connector, open minicom on the board, the other side can not connect to open minicom prrt for PC, so how to look at both sides of the transfer?

please help me,thanks.
