I don't have perl at my target board. :) so from your suggestions I have 2 choices: 1. porting terminal tools, like minicom. ( I am afraid that i may need to cross-compile other libs and stuck on them rather than verify my porting.) 2. porting perl. ( the same concern above) is there any simper way to do so? ( I just need send some text to my usb serial device) appreciate your kind help :) miloody -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
