Hi, all - I'm running Jessie on my desktop (I can also boot Windows 7). I have Ethernet connectivity to my BBB, and am trying to set it up so I can direct BBB console output to a window on my desktop.
Oddly enough, this works using PuTTY under Windows, but when I apply the same settings to PuTTY under Debian, I get an error: Unable to open connection to /dev/ttyS3 Unable to configure serial port Since I can get this to work on Windows, I can rule out the serial-to-USB cable as a possible culprit, and I know that the connection is at least valid from a hardware sense. Also, I'm guessing the problem isn't on the BBB, so I'm figuring it's some kind of configuration issue on the desktop. I thought this might be a permissions issue, but I added "dialout" to my user's groups, and I've tried it from root, with the same results, so that's not looking promising. Any suggestions? I'm not married to using PuTTY. I started with it because I thought it would be easy since I already had it working under Windows, but I'm willing to use most anything. I'm still new to Linux and BBB, so I'd appreciate fairly explicit answers.
