Guessed: Some formatting elements to delineate text/commands that can be copy/pasted directly into the SSH Session to save time.

New page

To run minicom to test a usb/serial port you should first kill the Luup engine, the serial proxy, and Network Monitor which reboots Vera when it detects the Luup engine isn't running. Do this by running these 2 commands:

kill $(ps ax | grep 'Start_serproxy.sh.$\|Start_serproxy.sh$\|Start_LuaUPnP.sh$\|Start_LuaUPnP.sh.$\|Start_NetworkMonitor.sh$\|Start_NetworkMonitor.sh.$')

killall LuaUPnP NetworkMonitor serproxy

Next, download the minicom package and extract the minicom program with the commands below. Afterwards you can setup and start using minicom by running ''/tmp/minicom/usr/sbin/minicom -s'' and specifying the port options:

mkdir /tmp/minicom

cd /tmp/minicom

wget -O /tmp/minicom.ipk http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaze/snapshots/brcm-2.4/packages/minicom_2.3-1_mipsel.ipk

tar zxvf /tmp/minicom.ipk

tar zxvf data.tar.gz
