Ok,
So I was following the guide to setup the 3g modem on BB.
Had flashed the kernel and copied the new rootfs to the usb stick.
Booted up BB a couple of times without the 3g stick, everything seemed
ok.
Serial port was working ok and console was there, could issue commands
etc.
Rebooted again with 3g modem in the hub and everything was also ok
with the serial port.
Serial port was working ok and console was there, could issue commands
etc.
Powered off and decided for some reason to swap the usb stick and 3g
modem to different ports on the hub.
Powered up and after this nothing on the serial console.
Have checked the cable and its definitley ok.
Tried different combinations without 3g modem, hub, and just usb stick
connected direct to BB. Nothing on the console.
Followed the advice for resetting the serial port,
http://sites.google.com/site/bifferboard/Home/howto/reset-serial-port
No luck there.
Am very much a linux novice so no idea what to try next.
Any advice much appreciated

Why don't you try to access Bifferboard over Ethernet connection, say like, 1st use telnet to bifferboard IP. You will have direct access, then I would recommend to set the new password, requires to run command:
> passwd
After that, exit telnet and start using SSH connection (more secure connection and better way to access bifferboard - will also support file transfer over scp protocol). For the ssh connection the user should be root and the pass whatever you have set over previous command.
From a windows machine you can use putty to access BB over SSH . WinScp is another useful program for file transfer. From a Linux machine no need to install, SSH client is already present.
Regarding your problem, you may be using a USB->Serial cable and probably got a bit confused with your 3G modem (it also uses /dev/USBtty internally to mount the serial modem) - just a thought!
Regards,
Nelson.
ps: if you get your 3g modem to work with your mobile ISP, can you please give me feedback of the required changes for the 3G connection (to update the wiki).

You say you checked the cable - how did you do that?
Have you tested this without anything connected to the BB at all (not
even USB flash)?
thanks,
Biff.

Re checking serial cable: connected to minicom, then checked voltage
between Tx and Gnd, press a key and notice a drop in voltage.
then to verify Rx, connect tx to rx and type on keyboard, its echoed
on minicom.
Also checked cable with another board (not BB) which I know definitely
works and I get the normal output on minicom.
@Nelson: dont have access to a router at the moment and can't seem to
figure out how to connect my vista laptop (or using virtualbox
ubuntu ) directly to BB - any advice?
Will definitelty let you know if I get the 3g modem working.
So it would seem I need to reflash BB with the normal BB image via the
ethernet connection.
Any advice on how to set that up with a direct network cable from my
laptop to BB? (maybe this is a stupid question but haven't been
successful in ever connecting to BB directly through network cable).
thanks

Hmmmm... the other thing to try is repeatedly pressing Esc in the
serial console immediately after powering on the bifferboard - it
might just be that you've accidentally turned off bootloader serial
output. Pressing Esc brings up the biffboot options screen.

If you don't have a router, you can connect BB directly to your laptop
with a crossover ethernet cable.

OK, so your cable is working.

About my 2nd question, probably obvious, but I have to ask again: Do
you get nothing out of the serial connection even when nothing is
connected to the USB and nothing is connected to the ethernet and you
then power on? Just trying to remove as many variables as possible
here. It seems that most of what you wrote in your first email is
largely irrelevant and what you could really just say is "My serial
port doesn't work" and forget the 3G stuff. Hope I am understanding
correctly.
Assuming you switch on the BB, and you have a link to the serial port,
then sending <ESC> just after the power comes on should drop you in
the bootloader prompt. If it doesn't then it's due to one of the
following:
- Your baud rate/coms parameters are not set correctly in minicom
- You board is not functioning
- Your serial port has been damaged
The most likely one I'm guessing now, is the first one - baud rate
incorrect, so the BB doesn't receive the '<ESC>' character, and you
never get the Biffboot console.
regards,
Biff.

Oh yes... as Andrew says, the other possibility is that you're not
pressing <ESC> fast enough, or maybe you're pressing it too fast. You
normally have about 2 seconds to hit it after power-on.

Yeah should have just said "serial port not working"
Baud rate is ok 115200
Setup is ok also 115200, 8,N,1, and no flow control. This hasn't
changed from when serial port was working and outputting to minicom.
Have tried just powering BB on its own a number of time, nothing on
minicom.
Retried and pressed ESC as described a number of times, no luck
either.
Will locate a crossover ethernet cable tomorrow and try that.
When you power on BB, should the blue led be permanently on?
thanks

Please note that connecting Bifferboard over crossover cable to your laptop will work OK provided that you change Bifferboard Ethernet configurations to set a fixed IP (you will not have dhcp support on your laptop, so you need to give BB a fixed IP).
For that you will need to connect the USB PEN (rootfs) to a linux computer (or vmware/virtualbox) and edit:
> sudo nano /etc/config/network/
<copy from here>
# Copyright (C) 2006 OpenWrt.org
config interface loopback
option ifname lo
option proto static
option ipaddr 127.0.0.1
option netmask 255.0.0.0
config interface lan
option ifname eth0
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.1.66
option netmask 255.255.255.0
option gateway 192.168.1.254
option dns 208.67.222.222
<to here>
This will set your BB with 192.168.1.66 IP.

Nelson.

sorry,

I mean:

to connect over ssh (only after making the required telnet passwd change) you can use this windows app:
http://haanstra.eu/putty/
(over data, autologin user -> use root)

Finally located a crossover cable, took a while.
So bifferboard is definitely working and booting ok.
Based on what Biff said above, with network cable removed and serial
cable attached, pressing <ESC> does not drop me into the biffboot
console.
Settings have been checked and are correct
Serial cable has been checked and is working
Is there any other way to check if the serial port on the bifferboad
has been damaged?
Thanks

Are you able to connect to your bifferboard using ethernet i.e. using SSH?
If you are, you could try sending data to your bifferboard's serial
port from within linux, and seeing if it 'comes out the other end' ?

From my Linux machine (from serial program - over serial cable) I have to explicit send the Code for the ESC key in hexadecimal mode, think that is the code 0x1B.
Don't know if it helps, not quite understanding what is wrong, mine works pretty well (and I have 3 boards).

@ Andrew - Yes I can connect no problem to BB over SSH. Tried your
suggestion using
echo -n "test">/dev/ttyS0
nothing shows up on minicom
@ Nelson - problem is I cannot get the serial port to work. It was
working but now it is not.
Otherwise BB functions ok

If you have a working system it would be interesting to also see how
the device has been recognised by Linux, i.e. post the bootlog output
from dmesg.
thanks,
