serial console

Is it possible to use PPP (point-to-point protocol) over UART, for example to connect a Raspberry Pi to a desktop computer by using UART to USB (FTDI) cable? I am trying to do something like this with my pinephone pro project: - From desktop, connect to USB serial using sudo cu -s 115200 -l...

Hi all. I'm running in to a rather frustrating issue and I'm hoping someone could provide some pointers for where to look next. I've acquired a small, low power system that used to be a VPN appliance from the late 2010's. It is based on a Supermicro X10SBA-L motherboard with a Celeron J1900...

I recently connected an ADDS 1010 terminal via an USB to Serial port adapter to my FreeBSD server. After several days of tinkering with the termcap, I actually found a working one in Terminfo. Long story here, but probably not important for this. The problem I'm having is that some programs...

I run a FreeBSD 13.3-RELEASE-p3 box with a consumer mainboard and an Intel Xeon CPU. I want to access this machine on a console using a USB to TIA-232-F adapter cable which I bought together with a PCIe card for this purpose. (So I can take out the GPU again [which I only put in when I lose SSH...

Hello everyone, once again I am questioning all my life choices that led me to this point… I am trying to get freeBSD to boot on the star64. Good fun! Fancy new CPU arch! Except somehow the kernel uses the wrong serial speed, I can’t figure out which one, I have no other way to access the...

~<ctrl>D exits console

Hello, I have a motherboard without serial ports and I wonder whether it is possible to get a serial console (server side) on it with a PCIe RS232 card or a USB-to-RS232 adapter. So far I had no luck. I can get a console that works once the system finished booting (once getty process start as...

Hi, I’m trying to compile the FreeBSD kernel to use COM2 instead of COM1 as the boot console serial port. I’ve got a VirtualBox VM running FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE and have checked out the FreeBSD source to commit ef1e43df92c6 . I want my FreeBSD kernel to use serial port COM2 (instead of COM1)...

Hello people, did anyone of you try to run IPMI Serial-over-LAN (sol) on FreeBSD (ideally on supermicro hardware)? I found this. :-/

I have a Moxa 5450 with 4 FreeBSD servers (11) connected. Each Port on the Moxa ist set to use Reverse Telent. Each serial port is then available at IP of console server 400x. The Null-modem cables have all been tested with a server in the office that is Identical to those in the Rack. The...
