[CoolTerm-Betas] CoolTerm for Ubuntu

Hi Roger,
Unfortunately, when I type a text on CoolTem my target does not receive any data (tested with a scope).
Moreover, when I send a text from my target I can see the correct signal on the scope, but nothing on CoolTerm.
The low level seems correct because when I use GTKTerm everything is fine.

Any test that you would like I do?

Edo

Perhaps the data DOES get to the target, but somehow the serial port configuration is incorrect (may CoolTerm has trouble setting the configuration for a port on a virtualized machine?). Can you try a loopback between RX and TX at the FTDI chip?
