2.I need a 3/4-pin header and the Nokia CA-42 cable.
3.I need something like Putty/U-boot.
Here is what I want to know :-
1. Do I need to "VCC and TX with a 10k resistor"?
2.For the 3/4-pin header, what size spacing do I need between the pins/contacts/metal thingys?
3.How do I use putty?
4.How do I know what COM port the USB is connected to?
5.Anything I don't know about this.
Please help,
Thanks. |
