Putty SSH to Install Serial Drivers

In this step, we are going to install the necessary serial port utilities and drivers. As the space is limited in the box, do not blindly install all usb-serial drivers.

1. If needed, ssh login to the box
2. type “opkg update”, to update the database of opkg app.
3. type “opkg install usbutils”, for serial utilities
4. for Prolific 2302 based USB-serial cable, type “opkg install kmod-usb-serial-pl2303″
5. type “dmesg” to confirm that the driver found the USB-Serial adapter, as shown installed as “ttyUSB0″
