Once we have the router powered up, connecting is as simple as plugging the serial ports into a machine with the proper software to communicate over it (such as Kermit).
In our setup, once running Kermit on the external machine, we connected by typing in:
set line /dev/tty000
|
to connect to the device talking to the router. | |
set serial 8n1
|
which is not really necessary since this is default. | |
set speed 115200
|
as given to us in the router specifications. |
Once connected, you may need to press Enter to get a console from OpenWRT.
Also, because the goal is to upload custom kernels to the router, it would be a good idea to connect the router to your network by wiring it up via one of the numbered LAN ports on the back of the router (NOT the Internet/WAN port).
