This is now committed to subversion (in firmware/tools ).
Run it by
cd firmware/tools # Or whereever you put it!
./detect-boards.sh
and it tries to "poke" each board in turn and tells you what happens,
it a somewhat more human-friendly way that the raw poke output.
If you do not use /dev/ttyS0 (the default serial port), tell it which
port you *do* use, like this:
./detect-boards.sh /dev/ttyUSB0 # Use the right port name of course
and it will "do the right thing". Well, I hope it will :-)
Feedback on whether this slight improvement in comms testing
friendliness is useful would be welcome, as would any unexpected
results from running it.
Thanks,
Jonathan
