From @fohdeesha's post about the 6740T, I just received one. I don't have a mini-USB console cable so I created one based on @Ouraing's post at https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/diy-mini-usb-serial-dongle.24245/.
While I can see console output I can't type anything. Even ESC won't stop the bootloader.
The table below are my connections based on the DIY guide and specifications from the 6740 setup guide. I also connected ground. I tried swapping UART0_TX/_RX to the keystone's pins 6/3 but I get no output if mini-USB TX is connected to keystone RX (and mini-USB RX is connected to keystone TX).
Any ideas?
