Connecting to a Linux device via USB-Serial Console from Windows
There are two ways to connect to a Linux device via usb-serial console from Windows:
- Using Putty
- Using Cygwin
Installation and Setup
Both setup requires the installation of the USB-to-Serial/Virtual COM Port (VCP) Driver in the Windows device.
Driver
- Driver for the Windows device was downloaded from Future Technology Devices International Limited's website
- Installation process was as easy as clicking the downloaded file
- After the installation the USB-to-Serial adapter's usb part was connected to the Windows device and the serial part in the Linux device.
- At this point the Windows issues a COM# (COM3 or COM4) to the adapter (usually at the lower left corner, in the Windows notification center)
- Configuration was modified according to this.
- Only difference from the above instruction was in #8, Bits per second (BPS) was set to 115200 instead of 9600.
Cygwin
- Windows executable was downloaded from Cigwin's website
- Cygwin setup was done by following this.
- "Screen" was the additional package that was added beyond the default package set. (section 2.9 in the above link)
Putty
- Windows executable was downloaded from Putty' website (Section: A Windows installer for everything except PuTTYtel)
