Hello,

I have Linksys WRT54G V2 router. Can I detach SERIAL PORT 0 (/dev/tts/0) from Console (ash/BusyBox) in DDWRT (in OpenWrt I can detach with inittab)? And also is there any DD-WRT compilation wich have working STTY command? In DDWRT v23 I have error: can't resolve: 'setlocale' command when running STTY.

Cheers
Adex

I am looking for an answer on how to detach the console from the serial port too.

As for your stty issue, after previously researching stty's availability in DD-WRT I found that the latest release of DD-WRT that still includes stty is v24 RC3. I have been using the Fonera-specific version however, so your results may be different.

Hope that helps,
Dylan V

I'm also interested in detaching the console from the serial port.

I need to detach the serial from the console too. I came across the busybox app setconsole, but it's not included in DD-WRT. Anyone know how to compile this for us? It can be used like this:

$>setconsole /dev/null

to redirect kernel output.

Yes I compiled it for you, but it doesn't work

I wrote:
I compiled a version of busybox with setconsole, but dd-wrt doesn't allow setting it to /dev/null

Code:

root@DD-WRT:~# wget http://192.168.1.10/busybox
Connecting to 192.168.1.10 (192.168.1.10:80)
busybox 100% |*******************************| 755k 00:00:00 ETA
root@DD-WRT:~# chmod +x ./busybox
root@DD-WRT:~# ./busybox setconsole /dev/null
setconsole: TIOCCONS: Inappropriate ioctl for device
root@DD-WRT:~#


Any other ideas?

BTW I have stty compiled too. But can it even be used for this purpose?

Code:

root@DD-WRT:~# ./busybox stty
speed 38400 baud;
-brkint -imaxbel
tab3
root@DD-WRT:~# ./busybox stty --help

Usage: stty [-a|g] [-F DEVICE] [SETTING]...

Without arguments, prints baud rate, line discipline,
and deviations from stty sane.

Options:
        -F DEVICE       open device instead of stdin
        -a              print all current settings in human-readable form
        -g              print in stty-readable form
        [SETTING]       see manpage

Has anyone tried the optware-based busybox?

Can you set it to /dev/ttyS1

Apparently on my router (Buffalo WHR-G125) there are 2 serial ports, but only one is brought out to pins on the PCB (ttyS0). So if I can redirect the console there it would hopefully free up ttyS0.

Also, can you please attach the binary for setconsole so I can download it?

Thanks in advance Smile

I'd like to confirm that the attached busybox includes setserial, and i was able to detach the console from /dev/ttyS0.

I used this command:
./busybox setconsole /dev/tts/1

Thanks soulstace!!!!

sorry, i lost track of this thread...

I dropped the busybox in this thread in my jffs directory, and ran the command I mentioned above, which puts the console on /dev/tts/1 instead of /dev/tts/0

Now you can use /dev/tts/0 for serial communications.

I never know how detailed to be in my explanations here since some folks have no idea and some people are old hats, so let me know if you need more detail.

Thanks Turkey.

I did tried to put the busybox into my Asus using wget, after giving permission to run (chmod), I can do the setconsole to /dev/tts/1, however, I still failed to read anything from /dev/tts/0 (or which command you used to read data?). TX is always working even without setconsole to /dev/tts/1

Is that mandatory to put the new busybox into jffs?

And if it is hardware or DDWRT version specific?
FYI, I am using dd-wrt.v24-13577_NEWD_mini_usb_ftp.bin on WL520gu.

Thanks for advice.

Sounds like you're having a problem reading from the serial port. I'm not the right person to help you with that... Why don't you google 'linux shell serial read'

Sorry!
