Hi,

I want to use my j720 as an controller of my home automation (x10 based), by using heyu (www.heyu.org) and a device CM11a connected on the serial port.
I have installed 720degrees, updated packages, and compiled heyu without any problem. However I cannot have any response from the serial port /dev/ttyS0.
No /dev/ttySA0 exists...
I tried a connection to a terminal program on the PC and something like (as root)
echo "hello" > /dev/ttyS0
and nothing.

Any ideia?

I'll try to look into it...the kernel does have serial support in it, right?
