Hey guys, I have bought a USB to RS232 adaptor and wired an RS232 to 3.5mm jack according to this thread. I am using a mac running parallels with windows 7 64 bit and have successfully installed the FTDI drivers which says the serial connection is on COM5. When I connect up my galileo (no SD card) and use putty to connect via serial using COM5 9600 baud, the console screen is completely blank, and no matter what I press on the keyboard or what baud rate I use, I can't get a blip out of the board. Does anyone know what could be going wrong here? Is using windows via parallels going to screw something up with the connection? I haven't got any kind of probe on me at the moment, so I cant see whether putty is sending anything through the connection at all.
