Hehe, My wife laughs and says i'm a moron, but that's the thing about silly questions, they just aren't that silly. Turns out I didn't have the UART connector in - very embarrassed.

I will bet that every program works now - screen already does

thanks heaps

Hey thanks for the reply

Still no joy with picocom - terminal just sits and does nothing

really I thought Linux to linux it would recognise it, but I've tried on 2 seperate PC's a windows box and nothing

But the Jtag still opens up and registers keystrokes....

PS - I already had the putty settings but thanks for the help

anymore thoughts would be appreciated

cheers
Andy

Ok, So I have my DP

and I am going to upgrade my debian. I have tried
windows - putty
linux 10.04 - gtkterm, putty, minicom, cu
linux 10.10 - still nothing

I have watched a video on it for windows and am certain I have followed the instructions correctly

My jtag lights flash but there hasn't been a single bit of output in any terminal program..

I need help

here is dmesg | grep tty
[ 9461.748846] usb 3-1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB1

I really want to upgrade and specifically bought the jtag for this and other tinkering purposes

plz help
