I was wondering if anyone could provide assistance or explanations for my pi woes.
I have a pi with a formatted microsd card that I got from adafruit. I do not have an HDMI monitor so I have been trying to connect it via serial cable. I followed the guide here for setup: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-5-using-a-console-cable/overview
When I try it on my Linux machine using Screen, the computer does not mount it. When I try it on my PC via putty (and after installing appropriate drivers), it tells me "unable to open serial port."
Am I missing something obvious?
ls /dev (with the console cable plugged in), returns:
/dev
on your linux machine?. For example,ls /dev
and post the output in original post. On my mac, I seetty.usbserial-AM01R12Y
for my console cable. Yours may be something likettyUSB0
. This is the address you will use when connecting./dev
