Edimax 3G-6210n Linux

Posted on 9:07 AM by Unknown
I opened the case of the device and noted a number of unused pads that pointed to being a serial port connector. I used a USB to serial Sparkfun FTDI Basic 3v3 board and connected its rx tx and gnd pins to the pins on the 3G-6210n board. Note pin 1 on the 3G-6210n board is signified by a white silk screen square on the empty 4 pin connector rectangle, see my photos.

FTDI board goes to 3G-6210n Pins
GND goes to pin 3
TX goes to pin 2
RX goes to pin 4
I used my Ubuntu 12.04 machine and connected the Sparkfun FTDI board to one of the USB ports. I checked using the command dmesg and found the device was defined as /dev/ttyUSB0. I started minicom a terminal program using the command minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0.
I set the Com port to 38400 baud 8N1 = 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. No hardware or software flow control is selected on minicom.
I then powered on the 3G-6210n and boot messages appeared on the terminal window of minicom. It definitely is running Linux see messages below while it booted. Initial things I noticed 32MB RAM, 4MB Flash, 200MHz Processor
