Coder cable and dctool-serial

[k_3]

Hello,

I made my own coder cable few days ago with a ttl/rs232 converter like this http://images.virtualvillage.com/003602-008/001.jpg . But nothing works,
first: i've no image when i boot with the ttl/rs232 converter connnected, so i need to boot without it and only after i can connect it.
second: when i'm trying to upload any bin/elf it happens nothing. ("Idle..." message)

I would know what is wrong exactly? my rs232 port configuration? my ttl/rs232 ? my solderings? can anybody clarify me? that's really weird

you have to use a 3V level converter like the max3232, not a max232.

The fact your console doesn' t boot when the cable is plugged is weird, maybe you' ve got a short somewhere.
