[Buildroot] microcom

[Joseph G. Boike]

I'm trying to use microcom (the busybox version) to test a gadget serial 
interface on an at91sam9260 board.
gadget serial was compiled into the kernel w/ USE_ACM=1.  I can "cat 
some_text_file > /dev/ttygserial" and the contents of the text file show 
up on my laptop running hyperterm w/ windows xp.  So I think the link is 
ok.  But if I do "microcom /dev/ttygserial" the whole board seems to 
hang.  I haven't found anything short of cycling power to get the board 
responding.  (Granted I'm using a serial console so once the program 
starts I can't just kill it from another terminal window.)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe

Recompile microcom with debugging info and debug with gdb.

Do you use the microcom package, or the microcom utility is busybox?
Maybe you could try the other?

Hamish,
I've tried both stand-alone and busybox with the same results.
