Subject: [PATCH] README.hardware for mpc8315erdb incorrectly specified a null modem serial cable
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:57:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F75E5E3.9050407@mindchasers.com> (raw)
I noticed this while beta testing 1.2. but patch is against master
(latest commit: bcd4d14425cadc5bd6296f59f14733e8c39c49dd).
Instructions specified a null modem. This isn't the case. A straight
serial cable is required. I verified it with my own setup and
Freescale's user manual.
