Hi all,

After getting my own iConnect and wanting to try this i have problems getting to a prompt. Somehow, the device won't even boot (blue led stays off) if the serial cable is connected. Only if i unplug the serial cable, plug power back in and wait approx. 2+secs i see characters w/i screen/picocom... unintelligible stuff though.

Does anyone have an idea what's wrong here? I use a pl2303 converter attached to ttyUSB0 and have made sure that the wiring is correct:

9 pin male rs232 connected to the plk2302 as follows:

pin 2 - Rx
pin 3 - Tx
pin 5 - GND

i connect using e.g. picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

Any ideas what went wrong?

Great read btw, thanks!
