Build system questions.. usb to usb console cable?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Morning,

I've been building (now successfully installing as well.. ) for an mt3000..

I also have a bunch of x86 and edgerouter 6p that I would like to try building local images..

Is there some way to have a general 'include' file with all my changes to openwrt and the kernel for each?

  • OT (second question)

Is there anyway to get a console cable working for the mt3000?

for oob configuration/access?

Thank you in advance.

There is one but it is not documented. The commit adding support for the device mentions: Serial console: internal 4-pin header, 115200 8n1. So you have to open it up and try to figure out which pin is which. If you do please add it to the ToH.

So, you mean usb-in-router to usb-in-pc?
I don't think that Linux really support usb as the console. It it already a sophisticated device, not a low-level tty...

You need serial in router, like Bartvz says.
