Dear RPi Forum Team,
Thanks for all your help to date.
Going back to the beggining. Where this post started. How to make a 'headless' serial connection via USB form host Dell Ubuntu to target RPi Zero. Using a USB cable with a standard USB A plug from host to an OTG Micro USB B on the target.
That is, what is the delta to configuration to the RPi OS that needs to done to accomplish serial communication via a USB cable. USB being the Universal Serial Bus.
For example.
* Would /bootfs/config.txt be the only configuration file needing additional key value pair configuration parameters added or amended?
* Assuming the current UART configuration might remain as is in config.txt .
Looking forward to your insights.
Yours,
York
