cannot set baud in Mac OS X + Axon

[E.Mk]

Hey all,

I have Axon + Macbook Air + Mac OS drivers from SiLabs combo and I didn't get far into the setting up the hardware.  I'm installing Debian in VirtualBox as I type this, but just out of curiosity, any Mac gurus here who can tell me why the following doesn't work?

Code: [Select]

stty -f /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200
this doesn't output anything, but then when I type in

Code: [Select]

stty -f /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART
the speed is set to 9600 baud?

Any clue as to why stty doesn't work in Mac OS ('cause it works on my other computer running Ubuntu)

Noticing the same with my Mac running 10.6.5.  By leaving off the speed, it displays info about then connection.

Right, the question is why can't I set the baud rate by specifying it in my Mac OS X when that same command in linux(debian/Ubuntu) WILL set the baud rate to 115200.

Sorry, I should have been more clear.  I'm having the same issue and want to solve it as well.. If I have any luck I'll post back.

After much fiddling around, I reinstalled the SiLab drivers and screen worked just fine.  I was able to see all terminal text from my Axon. Do make sure your uC code is working and sending back appropriate data with another machine(PC with HyperTerm) to A/B the problem if you have the opportunity.  I only suggest becuase I'm a week into getting a smooth coding, make, and flash process going with X-Code.  Not there yet but getting closer.  So in the meantime, using XP through VirtualBox.

But I was able to:
# screen: /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200

And when done:
Ctrl-A [then typed]
exit [and hit enter]

Cool, man - I finally got this working myself last night as well. Using an FTDI breakout board, though.

On OS X, the command in Terminal is: screen -U tty.usbtoserial [xxxxxxx] [38400]

where [xxxxxxx] is the device name and [38400] can be whatever baudrate your microcontroller is set to. You can check your devices under /dev once you install the mac driver for your chip and reboot the machine. Of course, the device won't show up in /dev if the chip is connected to the mac.

Hit Ctrl-A then Ctrl-\ then 'y' to exit screen.
