Misleading information on connecting to UART0 via USB-serial connection

[miroR]

In chapter "LIME2-SERVER software installation" of
https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/blob/master/DOCUMENTS/LIME2-SERVER/LIME2-SERVER-User-Manual.pdf
it reads:
the port must be a ttyACMx
Pls. have a glance at how this lack of clear documentation, and actually misleading documentation fragment, kept me from figuring things out at:

UART0 Connection to PC via USB-Serial-F Cable Fails
https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=7806

No the port does not have to be ttyACMx. It can perfectly well be ttyUSBx.

And also the author of cu program admits in man cu that:

This program does not work very well.

and cu is not among the good options for USB-serial connection from PC to LIME2 in the really good tutorial on:
Ubuntu - How do I connect to TTY_COM

So, pls. fix this misleading documentation.

Hi miroR,

Note that the document you quote do not require external USB-SERIAL-F cable.

If you boot the board and connect normal USB cable to the USB OTG port of LIME2 it will create ttyACMx on your Linux PC or COMx port on your Windows machine.

And sure you can use any other serial program like minicom etc instead of cu.
What is written in this document is simple example which works if you follow it step by step.
There may be many variations.

Please read again "Lime2 Server software installation" page, it's not written to use USB-SERIAL-F but to connect USB cable to the USB-OTG port and in this case ttyACMx will be created!

Best regards
