Using Windows to Connect to the Gumstix Board

• First Download Teraterm from http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/. It's free. Get the .exe, run it, install
• Start Teraterm. If your gumstix is plugged in you should be able to select a serial/com port, and one of the COM ports should be listed as USB serial.
• If no USB serial connection is listed you may need to download a FTDI usb/serial driver. You can get one from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
• You will need to go to setup/serial port menu and set the baud rate from 9600 to 115200 otherwise you will just get garbage on the screen.
• To send a file from gumstix to your machine, at prompt type

  sz file_to_send

  Then go to File/Transfer/zmodem/receive and it should get it.
• To send a file from your machine to gumstix, at prompt type

  rz

  then File/Transfer/zmodem/send and pick the file.
