Hello.
i have a Banana Pro which i want to boot a debian jessie from. I know HDMI
doesn't work, so I want to have a serial connection for configuring ssh.
1. $ wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/firmware.BananaPro.img.gz
2. $ wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/partition.img.gz
3. $ zcat firmware.BananaPro.img.gz partition.img.gz > netinstall.img
4. My Banana Pro has three pins in the corner of the LAN Port. I've
connected my
Pins accoring that http://wiki.lemaker.org/File:USBpl2303.jpg picture
(black
--> GND; white --> RX; Green --> TX; leaving the red one out) and plugged
a
power adapter.
5. i've set up my minicom like here
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Working_with_the_serial_console#Minicom
- Serial Device to /dev/ttySzero
^^^^^^^^
Are you using USB to serial adapter?
It is usually /dev/ttyUSB0 (or /dev/ttyUSB1 if you have more interfaces
connected to computer) and not /dev/ttyS0.
- Bps 9600 BN1
- modem init and reset strings are already removed
6. only the red power lamp is on and minicom says 'offline'
