Title: How to get USB gecko output in linux?
Post by: giantpune on December 06, 2009, 11:20:53 AM
ive been scratching my head over this for months.  people say just open a terminal and point it to the usb gecko and it will get the output and display it there.  what exactly would i type in the terminal to get everything it is sending?  i have resorted to making an app using gecko_read()  but i know there is a much better way to go about this.

i know the gecko works in linux because i can send elfs to mini and hbc and they run.
i know the apps i send are outputting to the gecko because i can read it in windows fine and in linux (but very crapily)  with gecko_read().  any help would really be appreciated.

OK.  I finally figured out the issue and I figured I'd update this to possibly help out anybody that had the same problem.  It was the stupid terminal that comes standard  in Ubuntu 9.10.  Switching to "terminator" and just typing 'cat /dev/ttyUSB0' works great.  I know terminator is a GTK+2 terminal, but I dont think it has to be +2 to work.
