The cable will need special hardware (an Authentication chip.) I will look into building a cable with the right hardware.

Hi,
There are many people that would like to use the SDK to use the serial port. Here is a rumor I heard of how to access it:
*use the fopen call
*The device parameter is /dev/ttyS0 (or /dev/ttys000 or /dev/ttys001)
*Then, use fread and fwrite on the descriptor returned
An open question is how one would change the serial port parameters.
I don't know for sure if this works. But, if enough people are trying out some different methods to access it, I believe one of us will succeed. Then it will be great, as so many applications could nicely utilize the serial port!!!
