Connect to PC running CommView. The PC serial port should be connected to the USB serial adapter that is connected to the 825 with a crossover cable such as Cardinal 8545-B099-0A.
The default baud rate is likely 9600. Settings can be changed with the stty command such as:
card825gen2:~$ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 raw -echo card825gen2:~$ echo "hello" > /dev/ttyUSB0
CommView will show:
hello[LF]
To test receiving data type:
cat /dev/ttyUSB0
Type in CommView "1234567890"
1234567890
4/5/2023 Found prolific driver was not included. Updated build config to include Prolific. Now supports FTDI and Prolific chip based USB to serial adapters.
Device files /dev/ttyUSB* will be created automatically when USB to serial devices are connected, and removed when USB to serial devices are disconnected.
Test with various USB to serial adapters connected:
