You can't connect the USB ports directly (unless you have some sort of a converter / special device). You need one of such cables: 1) 3.3V serial (FSG-3) - converter - PC, 12V, serial 2) 3.3V serial (FSG-3) - converter - PC, USB 3) USB (FSG-3) - converter - PC, 12V, serial 4) USB (FSG-3) - converter - PC, USB I'm not sure if 4) exists. With 3) and 4), you won't do a low-level recovery - i.e., change bootloader/RedBoot settings etc. - with these, you can only connect to a working operating system. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org |
