You can display the serial console from the TXT controler with a USB to TTL adapter. In the following example, a USB to TTL adapter with the chip CP2102 was used. Alternatively you could use an adapter with FT232 chip or similar. It is important that the adapters work on a 3.3 volt basis. First, you should plug the adapter into the desktop PC and check whether there are only 3.3 V between GND <-> RX or GND <-> TX. With 5 volts, the txt controller would be damaged. | ||
|
||
The EXT interface from the controller is occupied as follows: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
RX | ||
| reserved | ||
| | I2C-Data | ||
| | | Extension | ||
| | | | GND | ||
| | | | | | ||
| +–––+ | | ||
+–––+ +–––+ | ||
| O O O O O | | ||
| O O O O O | | ||
+–––––––––––+ | ||
| | | | | | ||
| | | | Extension | ||
| | | Extension | ||
| | I2C-Clock | ||
| reserved | ||
TX | ||
``` | ||
|
||
When wiring, make sure that RX and TX are cross-connected: | ||
|
||
* TX <-> RX | ||
* RX <-> TX | ||
* GND <-> GND | ||
|
||
Then the console can be opened with the OSX as follows: | ||
|
||
`screen /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200` | ||
|
||
Access with [other operating systems](https://wiki.onion.io/Tutorials/Connecting-to-Omega-via-Serial-Terminal) is also possible. | ||
|
||
Finally, the TXT can be turned on and you can see the boot process. | ||
