I have usb to serial converter which i bought from dealextreme.com way back. I tried just hooking up the RxD, TxD and ground to the chip and I cant seem to make Linaxe detect the 08M.
Here is the things I done so far:
I installed Linaxe on my eee900 default xandros and successfully programming 08Ms and 28X1 with AXE027 before. Now I need a new AXE027 unless I can make this USB to Serial working.
My eee900 can detect the converter. Here are the info when I 'lsusb' on the terminal:[
CODE]Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0eef:0001 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalax TouchScreen
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc.
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 05e3:0505 Genesys Logic, Inc.
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0951:1606 Kingston Technology
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[/CODE]
Now,
1. Do I have to install a driver similar to the AXE027?
2. Does Linaxe detect the chip connected even if the chip is not powered or the chip should be correctly powered before it detects it?
3. Do you think I should just buy an AXE027 or alternatives(sparkfun) rather than wasting a lot of time?
