Serial consoles using tip
If you plan to connect a Soekris to your NetBSD computer you need a tool for serial communication. The command tip(1) is such a tool and can handle this easily for you. The syntax is:
tipI've added a line in my
/etc/remote for the Soekris box.
soekris:dv=/dev/ttyU0:br#9600:pa=none:dc:I can use the command
tip soekris to connect to my Soekris
box. Please note that I am using a USB to Serial converter, which works
flawlessly. Thanks to martin@NetBSD.org who wrote alot of the converter
code.
