MOD ZIGBEE UEXT with OLINUXINO

[bimodh]

Guys,


I bought an Olimex MOD-ZIGBEE-UEXT and an OLINUXINO A13 Board. The A13 is loaded with the linux as given here.(https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=537.0). I tried connecting the MOD-ZIGBEE_UEXT with the A13 board directly via UEXT but my A13 board was getting restarted.

So, now, i connected the MOD-ZIGBEE-UEXT to a MOD-USB-RS232 and from MOD-USB-RS232 to A13 via Mini USB. Now, the question is how can i access the same inside Linux? How can i access  the data transmitted over the Zigbee inside my Linux System?

Best bet is google for what you want on Linux.  Then convert any driver/software you find if it needs changes.

John, Thanks for the reply.

But i was checking for the same over the google. And i tried it with Screen, Minicom etc in Linux. Still, i am not getting any response from the device. So, wht to do?

Should it work the way you decided to connect it?  What makes you think it should and that Linux can support it that way?

I am a newbie to Linux, So i want to know how can i send the data from my OS, Linux, to the MOD-ZIGBEE-UEXT? For the same, i was googling the serial port access based on the assumption that once it is connected to the A13 board, it can be accessed as a normal serial port device, like terminal communication in Windows. Am i right on my assumption? And how can i gain the same?

My feeling is that if you connected things the way you have, but to a Windows PC, you would find Windows does not have drivers to do what you want.  I think it will be the same with Linux.

You could write one if you ave the skills.
