Is there an alternative to stty for setting baud rate and other serial parameters?
I have an NSLU2 which has all the code I need on it, except for a way to set baud rate. I've tried a new build with stty checked on in busybox, but while I can telnet in, this version won't allow ssh access after the password is changed (see other recent thread).
Any suggestions?
I've tested solution from this post https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 853#p84853
and it works for me
Thank you for the response. Per the referenced thread, I tried "empty -f picocom -b 2400 -p n -f n -l -r /dev/ttyUSB0", but got "empty not found". I searched but could not find a reference to an "empty" command. What is it and where would it be found?
picocom does enable me to set the parameters and control my serial device within the picocom terminal, and when I exit with the option for no reset, I am able to write to the serial port, for instance, "echo "0" > /dev/ttyUSB0". I assume that the "empty" part of the command above is supposed to cause picocom to exit immediately. How else might I do that, or how might I get the "empty" command.
root@OpenWrt:~# opkg list |grep empty
empty - 0.6.15b-1 - empty is an utility that provides an interface to execute and/or interactThanks--I did "opkg install empty" and ran "empty -f picocom -b 2400 -p n -f n -l -r /dev/ttyUSB0" and was able to control my device. I put the "empty" command in a startup script and rebooted, and immediately have control of my device, so the answer to the question in the thread subject (for my device) is:
empty -f picocom -b 2400 -p n -f n -l -r /dev/ttyUSB0
Installing coreutils, if there is space enough in flash, might also work as a way to get stty.
