Difference between Lite and Paid version

  • The lite version has a 120 seconds session limit

Configure a Debian OS with RS232 access from the BLE device

Add to file /etc/initab

s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -L 9600 ttyS0 vt100

BLE 232 from Taskit, requires power from the RS232 interface. It gives problems with getty. Using parameter -h will give power on RTS/CTS, but getty will wait forever on signal to send data.

run command

init q

Check if getty has been restarted, otherwise kill it. Use command

ps -ef | grep getty

and kill -9 "id"

Above example is for a RS232 port at ttyS0
