Connect to pfsense box console by usb

NIL=> Comment on Mastodon

Hello,

I have a pfsense appliance (Netgate 2440) with a usb console port,

while it used to be a serial port, now devices seems to have a usb

one. If you plug an usb wire from an openbsd box to it, you woull see this in your **dmesg**

uslcom0 at uhub0 port 5 configuration 1 interface 0 "Silicon Labs CP2104 USB to UART Bridge Controller" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 7

ucom0 at uslcom0 portno 0

To connect to it from OpenBSD, use the following command:

# cu -l /dev/cuaU0 -s 115200

And you're done
