Edge-V
You won’t need an Edge-IO board to setup the serial debugger on an Edge-V. Just use the on-board GPIO pins, as shown in this picture (same as VIM1, VIM2, and VIM3).
Edge
If you’re using an Edge SBC, continue reading below:
Preparation
- [x] A Serial Debugging Tool. In this guide, we will use a USB to TTL Converter. Ensure that it supports the
1500000
baudrate. - [x] Edge needs the Edge-IO breakout-board to support serial debugging.
Connections
Follow these steps to make the correct connections:
1) Connect Edge-IO board to Edge via the FPC connector.
2) Connect all the GPIOs, and check that the Tx / Rx Pins are connected correctly:
- Tool Pin
GND
: <---> Edge IOGND
- Tool Pin
TXD
: <---> Edge IORXD
- Tool Pin
RXD
: <---> Edge IOTXD
The connections should look like this:
3) Insert the USB-end into your Host-PC.
Setup Kermit Protocol(C-Kermit)
Install c-kermit:
$ sudo apt-get install ckermit |
Add Access Permission
$ sudo usermod -a -G dialout $(whoami) |
Add the following contents into ~/.kermrc to finish the setup:
set line /dev/ttyUSB0 set speed 1500000 set carrier-watch off set handshake none set flow-control none robust set file type bin set file name lit set rec pack 1000 set send pack 1000 set window 5 c |
Enable 1500000 baudrate
To enable 1500000
baudrate, you need to replace the kermit
binary. See Khadas Kermit to download, and execute the following commands:
$ chmod +x kermit $ sudo cp kermit /usr/bin/kermit |
Run the command kermit
to launch C-Kermit
Ensure that you have made the right connections, and if everything went fine, terminal will print this out:
$ kermit Connecting to /dev/ttyUSB0, speed 1500000 Escape character: Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS): enabled Type the escape character followed by C to get back, or followed by ? to see other options. ---------------------------------------------------- GXL:BL1:9ac50e:a1974b;FEAT:ADFC318C;POC:3;RCY:0;EMMC:0;READ:0;0.0;CHK:0; TE: 116640 ... |
Tips: If the print-out contains the following line, you might need to check the step Add Access Permission
above.
/dev/ttyUSB0: Permission denied |
###SecureCRT Bug
If you use SecureCRT to connect the Edge-V or edge,maybe you will see this.
This is not caused by incorrect settings. This is a CRT bug. You need to follow these steps.
- Use kermit to connect you board,you will see the true log
- Close kermit,then use SecureCRT to connect you board.you will find all is fine.
note:If these steps don’t work, maybe you need to confirm your settings first.
