Hi,

I have 2 of them and cu works fine.

As root you can do this. The serial-over-usb provides you with 2 serial =20
devices. The second one is the console. The first is the JTAG interface t=
o =20
flash the bios.

# cu -l cuaU1 -s 115200

The device number in cuaU1 is depending on how many serial devices you =20
have over usb.

When you plug the serial-over-usb in you should see something like these =
=20
lines in dmesg/messages.
