"neocon" is a simple serial console utility that tries to open a
|
|
ttys that may exist on a system until one such open succeeds. It
|
|
then passes terminal input and output, until there is a read or
|
|
write failure on the tty, in which case it disconnects, and the
|
|
process restarts.
|
|
|
|
This is mainly intended for serial over USB interfaces that
|
|
disappear when the Neo or debug board is restarted. E.g.,
|
|
neocon /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1
|
|
|
|
The option -t delay_ms throttles keyboard input to a rate of
|
|
one character every "delay_ms" milliseconds. This can be used to
|
|
prevent buffer overruns on the remote end.
|
|
|
|
"neocon" can log to a file with the option "-l logfile". Non-ASCII
|
|
and non-printable characters are converted to hash signs (#). To
|
|
append to an existing logfile, add the option "-a". To add a
|
|
timestamp before each line, use the option "-T".
|
|
|
|
To leave neocon, type "~.". The escape character (~) can be changed
|
|
with the option "-e escape".
|
|
|
|
To manually switch to the next device, enter "~n".
|
|
|
|
The option -L switches console input from character-by-character
|
|
(raw) mode to local line editing (cooked). Edited lines are sent
|
|
with \n termination.
