Hi,
I'm wondering if its possible to use the on board USB port on a RB851Ui-2ND and similar devices as a console port?
Thanks,
No I haven't but it looks very interesting and cheap, I might get a couple to play with
Thanks for the tips!You can use any common USB to TTL (or RS232) serial adapter and then spawn console on this port to get console.
Almost all chipsets work (FTDI,Prolific,SiLabs) but from my experience Prolific chips tends to freeze, FTDI seems to be much more reliable.
Answering myself, it works.Did anyone succeeded using a Pi Zero with g_serial overlay ?
/system console
add disabled=no port=usb1
sudo /bin/sh -c 'echo "dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=otg" >> /boot/config.txt'
sudo systemctl disable getty@ttyGS0.service
sudo reboot
sudo minicom /dev/ttyGS0
quit
