Hi.
I understand you opinion Greg.
There are lots of documentation about Linux Kernel. For example, I
have been studying "Linux Kernel Development 3rd Edition".
I am a newbie also and have read/studied tons of books on the Linux
kernel over the last three years; however, the best way to learn the
kernel and device drivers is to take on a small project. By doing
this I have learned so much more.
agreed.
In addition, I spent a lot of time trying to create a serial TTL port
to RS232 serial cable with no luck. I understand the need for this;
(to boot into a specific kernel); however I am not sure how to create
this cable. I was able to boot into a kernel of my choosing a
different way; but can someone provide guidance on the creation of
the cable for my own edification.
I've had very good luck with this [1] cable. You can get the wire-end variant, but honestly, I like the plug better. The pins come out easily, so I can reorder the pins depending on the project.
hth,
Jason.
