Subject: Re: [Balloon] Serial Port on Balloon
I want to do an open("/dev/tty??", O_RDWR...), but I can't tell what tty
device it is. The connector is J9 on the bottom.

So does this mean there are some preliminary stuff to set up first? does this
need to be turned on some how?

Can I "echo /dev/tty??" to that port from the console?

Also, the wiki isn't working. Is there any word on how long?
