How to set the serial console databits?
Hi,
Would anyone know how to configure the serial console data bits?
I think I somehow managed to set it accidentally to 5 and the serial console is now unusable.
What I did was editing file through serial console in VI editor and pressed "Ctrl+b" and the following message came to screen and after that it was not possible to do anything through the serial console:
*** databits: 5 ***
Now I'm thinking it somehow set the bits to 5 whereas it should be 8.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
