Neworld Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 When I start putty on a clean flash, I get this. (see attached photo) Any thoughts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neworld Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have tried on a Dell computer directly connected into the serial port and also tried using a usb to serial converter... Both resulted in this Jibjab, hogwash, gobbledygook that I can't understand :( If anyone can help me out that would be awesome. Here's that screen shot again.

loozr Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Is it possible to login to the web pages? If so, could you do another re-flash? Oops, I'm sorry. Now I see that you have made a clean flash. Edited August 11, 2012 by loozr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfitsman805 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Are you using the correct baud rate and settings for the serial port? Also make sure the TX and RX are on the correct pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatskeBart Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 and also check GND (ground/mass) very important ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neworld Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have it exactly the same as in this setup photo (see attachment) I followed all the instructions exactly in the setup video on wifipineapple website. http://cloud.wifipineapple.com/index.php?flashing Yes the pins are all in the correct place.

WatskeBart Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 What kind of serial cable are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 You have set an incorrect baud rate for the COM port. In putty, find the setting and change it to 115200. That will fix your issue. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Regards, Sebkinne Must be the baudrate indeed. Putty puts a default baudrate of 9600 which will give garbled output, it must be set at 115200. When you've selected serial, you can set the baudrate on the right side of the COM port value or in putty menu left at the bottom which says serial.

I will try again on another computer today and report back my findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineDominator Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have also heard you should place the same settings for the com port in device manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 "Sigh" I have tried this.... I will try again on another computer today and report back my findings. Keep in mind, it's not a serial com port that can work directly off your computer's 9-pin connector. You need a UART adapter and that is what connects to the pineapple. You can get either USB to UART, or Serial to UART (Like the Alfa console board). But typically, jibberish means wrong baud settings. Also make sure you have parity turned off (no parity).

Malachai Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Well hopefully I won't have the same trouble as this. Just want to make sure I bought the right one to flash my pineapple IV. http://www.data-alliance.net/servlet/-strse-710/Developer-Kit-for-Hornet-dsh-UB/Detail thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to make sure I bought the right one to flash my pineapple IV. http://www.data-alli...t-dsh-UB/Detail thanks That's the product I used. Make sure you have the correct com port and you should be good to follow the wiki instructions. I have also generalized the wiki to be able to follow with basically any hardware/software combination with general knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineDominator Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I had the same issue what I had to do was type all the commands by hand and not past them, there are some charecters that get copied for some reason and you don't see them when pasting in putty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't type anything because I can't get to the command line.... When I "choose 1", it just continues on with the stuff afterwards. It never lets me get to the command line part. Is there a way around this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to turn on flowcontrol (or similar, I keep forgetting the name.) Or if it is turned on, turn it off. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neworld Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 NOTHING IS WORKING!!!!! IS there a way to completely revamp it?? I CAN'T EVEN GET TO COMMAND LINE ON IT!!! I need to redo the whole system.... how would I do this from it's current state?

I need to redo the whole system.... how would I do this from it's current state? (keep in mind I can't get to command line on the pineapple) Okay, let me summarize: You have successfully gained access over Serial to your pineapple. No gibberish anymore. You see the pineapple booting up (resulting in a kernel panic). You simply cannot interact with the system, right? As in, you cannot "Press 1" when you need to. The fix for this is simple. I saw you are using Putty? http://the.earth.li/...fig-serial-flow Set flow control setting to NONE. Now try booting the pineapple again. When the bootloader gives you the option to press 1.. press 1 and follow the serial guide we provide at http://cloud.wifipin...le.com?flashing Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at my previous post where I posted the code, you can see that I was successful at choosing 1, but once I choose 1 it just continues on without letting me get to the command prompt. It accepts that I chose 1, but it doesn't follow through with the procedure of giving me command prompt. :( Here is the code again that I posted: ~U-Boot 1.1.4-g971cc15e-dirty (Sep 7 2011 - 11:44:55)AP121-8MB (ar9331) U-bootDRM: 32 MBT/p of RAM usable for U-Boot at: 82000000Reserving 248k for U-Boot at: 81fc0000Reserving 192k for malloc() at: 81f90000Reserving 44 Bytes for Board Info at: 81f8ffd4Reservin' 36 Bytes for Global Data at: 81f8ffb0Reserving 128k for boot params() at: 81f6ffb0Stack Pointer at: 81f6ff98Now running in RAM - U-Boot at: 81fc0000id read 0x100000ffflash size 8388608, sector count = 128Flash: 8 MBIn: serialOut: serialErr: serialNet: ag7240_enet_initialize...Fetching MAC ddr%ss from 0x81feb688Fetching MAC Address from 0x81feb688: cfg1 0x5 cfg2 0x7114eth0: 00:c0:ca:63:1f:c5eth0 up: cfg1 0xf cfg2 0x7214eth1: 00:c0:ca:63:1f:c4athrs26_reg_init_lanATHRS26: r%setting s26ATHR26: s26 r%set doneeth1 upeth0, %th1Please choose the operation: 1: Entr boot command line int%rfac%. 2: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP. 3: Boot system c/de via Flash (default).You choosed 1 0System Boot system code via Flash.## Bo/ting image at 9f650000 ...

Thats why I'm clean flashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachai Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Keep in mind, it's not a serial com port that can work directly off your computer's 9-pin connector. You need a UART adapter and that is what connects to the pineapple. You can get either USB to UART, or Serial to UART (Like the Alfa console board). But typically, jibberish means wrong baud settings. Also make sure you have parity turned off (no parity). Do you have the link to the USB to UART you are talking about. I bought the serial one thinking that's the only one I could've used...Then thinkig how am i going to reset the device if I don't have a serial connection on my new hp laptop... UGH@@@@@@@@ The usb would of been better should of asked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
