Attach to serial console without soldering
Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2017 10:28 pm
Hi,
Accidentally I've disabled wi-fi without active eth.
By this of course now I cannot acces to my VoCore2, and of course only method de-bricking it is login over serial console.
I have some USB2UART adapters so it is not a big deal
Issue is that I don't wanna solder cables to VoCore2 board so I'm looking for enough small (needle size?) probe connectors.
Maybe someone can recommend some proper probe cables which could be easily connected to 2.54mm needles on typical USB2UART adapters.
I'm sure that it will be not last bricking my VoCore as I'm going to make many experiments si I've started thinking about other way accessing to boot console.
VoCore2 dock has two USb ports. Une micro USB which is used to power whole VoCore and second normal size USB port.
Maybe this second USB port could be used to redirect boot console?
If if this possible I'll be glad for any advices/details about how to do such setup
And another thought .. if it is possible to have boot console access on VoCore2+dock over USB maybe it would be god to embed such setup in default firmware (?)
I'm sure that such setup would allow faster development of many VoCore applications
