Using the Serial Port on KBL Intel NUC
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
You can enable the serial console on the
|
|
`KBL Intel NUC <https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Business-Mini-Technology-BLKNUC7i7DNH1E/dp/B07CCQ8V4R>`_
|
|
(NUC7i7DNH). The KBL Intel NUC has a serial port header you can
|
|
expose with a serial DB9 header cable. (The Intel NUC has a punch out hole for
|
|
mounting the serial connector.)

such a cable or you can build it yourself;
|
|
refer to the `KBL Intel NUC product specification

You'll also need an `RS232 DB9 female to USB cable
|
|
<https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Chipset-CableCreation-Converter-Register/dp/B0769DVQM1>`_,
|
|
or an `RS232 DB9 female/female (NULL modem) cross-over cable
|
|
<https://www.amazon.com/SF-Cable-Null-Modem-RS232/dp/B006W0I3BA>`_
|
|
to connect to your host system.
|
|
|
|
Note that If you want to use the RS232 DB9 female/female cable, choose
|
|
the **cross-over** type rather than **straight-through** type.
