====== Serial Interface ======

===== Router Setting =====

Please change the mode of the serial Interface you want to use to "none" 

{{ :virtualisation:serial.png?nolink |}}

===== lxc settings =====

The Serial intefaces is already available for the lxc containter and needed to be add as a filesystem node in the guest. 

Before you create the node you need to get the MAJOR and MINOR Number which can seen in the /dev directory with the ls -al | grep ttyS  in the router root shell. 

<konsole>
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        4,  64 Sep 30 15:59 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        4,  65 Jan  1  1970 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        4,  66 Jan  1  1970 /dev/ttyS2
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        4,  67 Jan  1  1970 /dev/ttyS3
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        4,  68 Jan  1  1970 /dev/ttyS4
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        4,  69 Jan  1  1970 /dev/ttyS5
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        4,  70 Jan  1  1970 /dev/ttyS6
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        4,  71 Jan  1  1970 /dev/ttyS7
</konsole>

then in the lxc container you can create the the device with the commands

<konsole root>
mknod /dev/ttyHostSerial0 c 4 64
mknod /dev/ttyHostSerial1 c 4 65
</konsole>

and then access the interface with microcom for example

<konsole root>
microcom -s 115200 -p /dev/ttyHostSerial0
microcom -s 115200 -p /dev/ttyHostSerial1

</konsole>
