Acesso da porta serial Putty ao console RS-232 mostrando o display de caracteres duplos com cabo USB / serial

Question

Estou tentando acessar um console de administração de firewall do Matrix Sense por meio de sua interface RS-232 e a exibição que recebo com o Putty é estranha. O hardware é uma placa-mãe PC Engines APU4B4 .

Estou usando um conversor USB para RS-232 barato na minha máquina com Windows 7. O dispositivo foi reconhecido na porta COM4 sem necessidade de instalação de driver do meu lado.

Então, com estes parâmetros:

• Velocidade 115200 bauds
• 8 bits de dados
• 1 Parar Bit
• Paridade nenhuma
• Controle de fluxo XON / XOFF

• EdiçãodelinhalocalForçaem

Masissonãoparecefazermuito.

Eventualmenteeureceboestedisplayestranho:

Alguns caracteres são exibidos duas vezes e outros parecem aleatórios. Parece que estou perto de uma solução, mas não consigo descobrir o que há de errado aqui.

    

Answer 1

Eu não tenho experiência com esse tipo de hardware, mas eu encontrei este tópico descrevendo sintomas semelhantes na APU1D.

Resposta:

You have enabled both iPXE's own serial console support (CONSOLE_SERIAL in config/console.h) and also your BIOS's serial console redirection.

Correção incorreta:

I did not realize that the PCBIOS console was enabled, because the option was commented out in config/console.h.

Undefining CONSOLE_PCBIOS in config/console.h solved my problem.

Explicação do motivo:

CONSOLE_PCBIOS is the "normal" console which writes to the screen and reads from the keyboard.

CONSOLE_SERIAL is iPXE's own serial port driver.

BIOS serial redirection is a feature implemented by your BIOS (and configurable via your BIOS setup screen) in which characters written to the screen will also be sent to the serial port.

The problem is that you have both CONSOLE_SERIAL and BIOS serial redirection enabled. iPXE writes each character both to the screen (due to CONSOLE_PCBIOS) and to the serial port (due to CONSOLE_SERIAL). Your BIOS then writes an additional copy of the character to the serial port, since you have BIOS serial redirection enabled. You therefore end up with two copies of each character on the serial port: one written directly by iPXE, one written by your BIOS.

The solution is to either disable CONSOLE_SERIAL or to disable your BIOS serial redirection (via your BIOS setup screen). Do not disable CONSOLE_BIOS…

_{(provavelmente significa CONSOLE_PCBIOS )}

… unless you really don't want to be able to interact via a local keyboard and monitor.

You may find that iPXE's CONSOLE_SERIAL is more robust than your BIOS's serial redirection feature, and so it might be preferable to leave CONSOLE_SERIAL enabled and disable the BIOS serial redirection (via your BIOS setup screen).

Feedback do remetente:

At least in the case of this alix board the serial driver of iPXE is indeed the preferable variant (haven't tried other serial devices yet), as the menu isn't displayed properly using the BIOS's redirection feature.

Unfortunately these devices are shipped with a very limited BIOS, in fact only the boot settings can be altered.

Nevertheless, I found a solution I'm happy with. I modified the file config/defaults/pcbios.h by changing the line defining the CONSOLE_PCBIOS option to:

  #define CONSOLE_PCBIOS ( CONSOLE_USAGE_ALL & ~CONSOLE_USAGE_TUI )

This way at least the menu is printed only once in my serial setup and the iPXE output seems also to be fine in normal cases (non serial).

Mesmo que o seu caso seja um pouco diferente, acho que a causa raiz é semelhante: dois softwares enviam caracteres para a porta serial, um deles é o BIOS. Encontre uma maneira de silenciar um ou outro.

    

Answer 2

Consegui ver corretamente o console após a reinicialização do firewall e a reinicialização da minha máquina. Eu comecei primeiro Putty e depois lancei o meu firewall.

Aqui estão os registros (censurei alguns pontos críticos). Mas você pode ver que algumas partes dos logs ainda têm o "problema de caractere duplo". O segundo ponto, ou seja, os "personagens de lixo" se foram.

Obrigado @Kamil Maciorowski pela sua preciosa ajuda.
