Later, the system can be configured to start automatically – user interaction is no longer required. The standard way to create a serial port connection is to connect the target computer and development computer with a null modem cable and to run a terminal emulator on the development system.
Quick Start Guide taskit GmbH Then you can re-start Kermit: kermit -c Upon starting U-Boot on the target system, a console is available on the serial port. 4.2. Terminal access under Windows Windows operating systems generally offer HyperTerminal as a free terminal emulator, already included in the standard installation. You can execute HyperTerminal from Start→ Programs→ Accessories→ Communication. After starting HyperTerminal, enter any connection name and choose the COM port to be used.

Sharing a directory To get access to remote files you need to share a directory.
Quick Start Guide taskit GmbH 6.3.
