Handylink to DB9

How to make your own serial cable for kernel flashing and debug purposes. We may start selling these premade on the Bug Labs store if enough users express an interest.

Get/Make the Serial Cable

  1. Get the HandyLink cable from Molex or DigiKey.
  2. Get the Keyspan serial to USB adapter. I've also had success with cheaper adapters
  3. Get the serial terminal (D-Sub 9 Pin Female Solder) and hood. I prefer plastic because it's lighter and won't pull the Handylink side out of your BUG with its weight, as the metal may.
  4. Wire it according to this diagram:

NOTE: Pins 9,8,7 on the handylink terminal need to be wired to 5,2,3 on the DB9, respectively.
