Serial port access (Zarhus OS debug console)

Numerous types of software can be used to communicate via serial ports. On a host machine with Linux-based OS it can be minicom, Windows users can access that with PuTTY.

There are only two parameters that depend not only on hardware but on software as well: baudrate and serial port number. In case of Quartz64 Model A port - Zarhus OS gives access to console via serial port 2 with baudrate 1.5 Mbps, so you can connect to the console by connecting the UART adapter to pins 8, 10 and 10 of CON40

And use following command on your host Linux distribution:

$ minicom -b 1500000 -D /dev/ttyUSBX

Where instead of /dev/ttyUSBX there should be the name of your UART adapter under your host Linux distribution.
