From 501f0da47fce7e8382910e03e2eb7861467d5fcb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Cochran Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:57:07 -0400 Subject: README.hardware for mpc8315erdb incorrectly specified a null modem serial cable I noticed this while beta testing 1.2. but patch is against master (latest commit: bcd4d14425cadc5bd6296f59f14733e8c39c49dd). Instructions specified a null modem. This isn't the case. A straight serial cable is required. I verified it with my own setup and Freescale's user manual.
