Johnnie Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi, First of all thanks for all the useful information on this forum. I recently bought a Hornet-UB board and I am trying to flash it using the instructions here: http://wifipineapple.com/?flashing I don't have a Alfa console board, but I bought this I'm a bit confused about the environment used in the tutorial video. It shows device manager settings so it's plugged in to a Windows machine, right? But then it switches to Backtrack and connects to serial port via Putty. So is it a different machine, a VM running under the host machine? Also when I plug in using the USB UART adapter (I bought this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AFRXKFU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I hope it is correct) it appears under Other devices as "CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller". Do I need to install a driver or something so that I can access under ports section? I hope a nudge in the right direction would help a great deal. Thanks.

khaotic57 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 You can run putty under windows. Tyler has a great video on flashing via serial on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 If you are referring to my video. It is just a backtrack wallpaper. I am still using putty and the other Windows tools. Watch it full screen. Refer to the wiki for more info. Link in signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnie Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks guys. @Mr-Protocol: Yes, I was referring to your video. Since I was stuck at the beginning I didn't watch all of it and thought they were taken from different machines. Sorry about the newbie error @khaotic57: Thank you (and Tyler) for the video. I downloaded the drivers from here: http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx and now all seems to be fine. Now I can play around with it, let's see how it's going to wind up. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnie Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Everything else worked smoothly. Apparently the port for the UI has changed to 1471. Redirects were starting to drive me nuts so thanks for the guy who posted in the other thread :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Protocol Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Where's it wrong? So we can change it. I think he means it went from /pineapple to :1471 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnie Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 I think he means it went from /pineapple to :1471 Yeah, exactly. I was watching the tutorial video and it connects using the default port. Maybe a small note under the video would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potato Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Even though that video goes into backtrack to use putty, I have been successful following this tutorial on W7, with a UART adapter from amazon that has the same chipset as they are now selling on the hakshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it that confusing for people? I took the wallpaper from backtrack to my Windows machine. Look at the theme the windows use. Also all the other tools used are Windows tools. Cmon folks, attention to detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashTM Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 This reminds me when I had a arch wallpaper on Ubuntu. People got pissed at me for " giving arch a bad face". I don't understand, it's just a wallpaper. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
