I got my PINEAPPLE IV ... and i need to clean flash it... i followed step by step the WIKI and the video. So my software is: - Pineapple IV - SERIAL COM UART like in the picture: -plus cabel and all the staff... i set the velocity to 115200 and all like in the WIKI but.. when i hit open on the Putty NOTHING HAPPENS.....BLACK PUTTY SCREEN it's so upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what am i doing wrong? meaby the this kind of UART needs another velocity... i saw Darren using the ALFA BOARD that i cant effort :-(!!!!

Mr-Protocol Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 As Foxtrot mentioned. Try flipping the TX and RX pins as the Wiki suggests. Also make sure it's the 3.3V model and not 5 V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas ???? thanks 4 the patiance with us.. the newbiessss Sounds like your using a standard Serial adapter. Not UART. The Pineapple's serial isn't standard serial, it uses UART, to use UART you need a level shifter. Most people go with the USB TTY UART Board that has the CP2102 chip. -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klusters Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks Foxtrot for ur answer... im using the: RS232 Serial Port To TTL Converter Module w/ Transmitting and Receiving Indicator - Blue- Color: Blue- Material: Glass fiber- Model: 03100098- Chip: MAX3232- Voltage: 3.3V/5V- Great for microcontroller development- WRT / NDS 4 / Cell phone / Satellite TV reset- Data transmitting (TX) and receiving (RX)- Packing list:- 1 x Module- 4 x DuPont cable (length: 21cm) not good??????????

TylerCPU Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Adding to what @Foxtrot said. It would be easier to buy the serial uart ttl to usb adapter at the hakshop then putting that together. Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said. It is not UART. Get a USB to UART, like the one Tyler linked. -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
