[okl4-developer] Need help in compiling

[neohtm]

I'd connected the USB-RS232 converter from the system to my laptop. Then I
had opened the serial terminal the Putty in Windows from my laptop. But the
system seems still the same...is there anything I forget to do??Sorry for
these kind of newbie question.

At this stage, OKL4 communicates with the outside world over the  
serial port.  What you need is a serial cable to connect your OKL4  
machine's serial port (typically a RJ45 socket on desktop PCs) with  
another machine.

On the other machine, if an RJ45 socket is available that's great;  
otherwise if a USB port is free you can use a RJ45-to-USB converter.   
You then run a serial console program on the port.

There are many possible serial console programs: minicom, screen,  
console + conserver on Linux to name a few; PuTTy on Windows also  
supports the serial port.
