openembedded-core.git/scripts/contrib/serdevtry, branch pyro Mirror of openembedded-core scripts/contrib/serdevtry: add script to handle transient serial terminals 2014-04-30T20:52:12+00:00 Paul Eggleton paul.eggleton@linux.intel.com 2014-04-30T12:32:02+00:00 0537269df779532245eb2954e04fc26b3edfed85 When running automated tests (or just generally interacting with) boards whose serial console devices are on the board itself and thus disappear when powered down or practically disconnected, such as the BeagleBone white, some terminal programs (e.g. picocom) will exit when the device disappears and need to be restarted after the serial device returns. This script handles this automatically for such terminal programs. Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton <paul.eggleton@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> 
When running automated tests (or just generally interacting with)
boards whose serial console devices are on the board itself and thus
disappear when powered down or practically disconnected, such as the
BeagleBone white, some terminal programs (e.g. picocom) will exit when
the device disappears and need to be restarted after the serial device
returns. This script handles this automatically for such terminal
programs.
