MItyDSP L138-FI-236-RL Industrial IO Board 80-000268RI-2 rev. B, wont reset and no output on serial port.

Added by Christopher Brunson over 11 years ago

I am trying to load the hello world program.

So I set up the serial port on my pc with the following settings:

Baud Rate = 115200
Data = 8 bit
Parity = none
Stop = 1 bit
Flow Control = none

I also connected the provided null modem cable.

When I power the IO board the power good LED lights up and then nothing happens on the serial port.

Pressing the reset button does nothing.

I was wondering if anyone had come across this problem before and come up with a solution?

Thanks.

Hello Christopher,

What terminal program are you using to connect to the serial port on your PC?

Hi Bob,

I have been trying with both screen and putty.

Both seem to work fine when I loopback the tx and rx lines on the serial port.

Thanks,

Chris.

Chris,

Have you tried to add another null modem adapter into the mix or a straight-thru cable just as a sanity check.

Hi,

Swapping up the cables sees to make no difference, and if I plug in my work PC into the supplied cross over cable I get an IP.

Thanks,

Chris.

Hi,

I finally got it working by directly connecting the serial port to the board.

Thanks for the help,

Chris.

Chris,
Glad to hear of your success... if you don't mind, can you detail your setup a bit. Are you using a USB serial adapter (if so which one) or a serial port on your PC motherboard or pci card?
It sounds like the serial port you are using has been set up as a DCE instead of the usual DTE.

cheers

Hi,

I am using a nondescript USB to RS232 cable, dmesg tells me its a FTDI USB-RS232 cable, with a FT232RL onboard.
