ARTS/ETS Noobie question

[ccurtin]

Hello,
I'm picking up some work using ART/ETS that someone in my firm had previously worked on.
I have my second Ethernet port connected to ETS (tried ethernet card and USB/Ethernet connection). I also have a USB microB cable connected to ETS/UART Debug port to my Win11 PC.
I'm assuming the SD card was flashed appropriately by the previously tester ... I know, assume is never good

Using the Win11 Ethernet status dialog, I see packets transmitted to ETS, but get no response.

Questions:
1. How can I use the ETS's Debug UART port?
2. Can I connect a putty/TeraTerm to port 22 (or some other port)?
3. I'm kind of expecting Linux console output from the Debug/UART port ... any clues on how to get my ETS to boot or any diagnostic/probing is appreciated.
4. Any pointers how to 'use' the ETS's UART Debug port?

Thanks,
Craig

Thanks for the responses.
In essence:
1. install the FTDI driver (this configures the Windows USB to ETS Debug UART microB cable) (https://ftdichip.com/drivers/)
2. Establish a serial connection, I used PuTTY for this (speed to 115200)
3. in Linux console, run "ip a" which will show the status of the ETS's ethernet connections.

I would like to add that you should not need to change anything. If it does not work, you can try reflashing the SD card, and ensuring that your computer has proper IP address and network mask set on the network interface you have ETS board connected to.
While the UART is there, it is not meant to be used directly (especially by users), and I can assure you the internal environment is very unwelcoming.

(If you really want some output, the ETS board broadcasts log messages to the entire local network over control interface (syslog). You won't get anything better inside.)
