I am trying to connect intel sodaville ce4100 box to a linux or unix machine via serial cable and make them communicate through serial communication.

- The issue here is I cannot make the sodaville box and a linux x86 (ubuntu) machine or solaris machine communicated through serial cable.
- There is no "setserial" command in linux running in sodaville box.
- I have tried doing "stty -F /dev/ttyS0 -parenb -cstopb crtscts cs8 115200 " on sodaville box. I have tried different baud rates.


But I cannot make the sodaville box communicate through serial port.

Here is what happens,

- I do minicom -s on sodaville box set baud rate to 115200 , port to /dev/ttyS0 . exit out of minicom and start it again with 'minicom'
- now on solaris machine I start 'tip /dev/term/b' and set baud rate to same value as sodaville box
- Now If i type something in Sodaville box minicom the first few chars will appear on the solaris side after that nothing happens. If I type something on solaris console , nothing appears on solaville side.
then the minicom on sodaville hangs most of the time.


any suggestion will be helpful.
