[OpenTom] 910 tty settings?

[Pekka Nikander]

It turned out that in 910 the plug&play daemon takes over /dev/ttyS0  
by default.
Placing the following script as 'TTPnPD' to the sdcard or hard disk  
root gives a shell nicely.

#!/bin/sh

exec < /dev/ttySAC0 > /dev/ttySAC0 2>&1
stty 115200

while true; do
   sh
done

Kudos to TomTom Pro service for allowing me to figure this out this  
fast!

This new cable makes finally TT hacking trivial. You get easily a  
shell to the running system, making it possible to test various hacks  
without risking making my 910 hard disk unbootable.  IMHO, anyone  
planning to hack 510/710/910 should get the serial cable.

My plan is next to see if I can easily setup PPP or SLIP over ttyS0.   
That would allow TCP/IP easily to the system.  However, I don't know  
yet if there is PPP or SLIP compiled into the default kernel; my  
background is in the *BSD world and this is the first time I am  
playing with Linux.  There may also be some problems in getting PPP  
running at my Mac.

Just FYI, this is what TT910 (6.110) runs by default, sans the P&P  
daemon:
