633 linux always...

[Fabrizio]

Hello,

New machine, new LCD.

When I run the test code from the site, I get :
- Serial_Init : success
- 2 "Timed out waiting for a response"
- "Updated display. Now waiting for packets."
- Nothing displayed on the LCD (remains default)
- Nothing when I press any key

What should I test ? Or do ?

And by the way, is there a way of resetting the 633 to its "factory" settings ?

633 USB, I assume? Which distro?

Provide as much information as possible and I'll do my best to help.

Oops sorry for the lack of information

633 on serial port
The distro is a slackware 10.2.
Kernel 2.6.13

The serial port is at 115200 baud.
But I also tried at 19200 changing it by :
setserial /dev/ttyS2 baud_base 19200

I can't any other relevant information.
Just ask if you think of something I forgot.

SOLVED

I am sorry. It had nothing to do with the 633.

Just in case someone run into the same problem one day :
There is apparently a problem in the serial driver that goes in the linux kernel, before version 2.6.14.6.

So, just update your kernel to that version or above and everything should be ok.

Glad to hear that you got it figured out!
