AM335x EVM minicom problem

Hi,

I've run the setup.sh script but when it asked for the serial port that I want to use, I just pressed Enter, so it will be using /dev/ttyS0 ( by default )

and from my understanding to the datasheet, it's the correct choice to do ( No beaglebone here).

I tried then to run minicom -w but I couldn't get any thing from my AM335x EVM, that alredy have android installed.

I also tried minicom with ttyUSB0 ( using an serial-USB adapter ) as this is what I could see from the log posted on this forum but nothing works.

I can't figure out the sorce of the problem:

    - maybe I'm missing something in the "minicom process"

    - I can't understand whether I have to use the serial-USB adapter for further operation ( like installing a new kernel on the board, u-boot session) or some tiny

port (next to an USB port) with a USB end cable ? ( both of the DB9 and the "tiny port" are in the BaseBoard of the AM335x EVM)

   - maybe I need a cross cable with the serial-USB adapter ?

I really appreciate any help. I'm struggling with the documentation but I can't understand any thing.

Thanks in advance.
