Connecting to Insight

[Gerwyn Davies]

Hi,

Anyone know of the RS232 pinout require to connect Insight ( hosted on a PC,
is it available for any other hosts?) to a remote target?

Thanks.

It depends on both host and target.  

I've run GDB (and for this issue, GDB and Insight should be the same)
with the remote protocol on a serial line with just tx, rx, and ground
on a UNIX host with hardware flow control disabled.  The remote
protocol, for all its warts, is robust enough to work reliably in the
absense of flow control.

It's nice to have a 232 breakout box when solving serial connectivity
problems.
