Hi,

I managed to mess up rcS and now I'm trying to hook up a serial port to the pogoplug except that the board does not look like anything posted here before. There is a four pin connector labelled as J3 that appears to be the serial connection.

I've attached an image of the board. I tried to hook up the serial cable with 1=Gnd, 2=Rx & 3=Tx as posted on other threads and I seem to be getting somewhere i.e. I get some jumbled characters on Hyperterminal and the Plug seems to respond to keypresses via Hyperterminal. I tried changing the speed to a couple of different values but it did not help. First I'd like to confirm that I got the pinout correct and next I'd like to get some tips on getting past the jumbled characters.

I did test the cable with pins 2 & 3 shorted and I could get the typed characters echoed back without any issues at all speeds.

Anybody ?

If anyone knows what the pinout should be for the unlabelled J3 connector please let me know (link for image to the board is available on the first post).

Thanks
