@rpeterson Ignore that url. That is the wrong url.

@george1421 They only ship with a serial port interface and yes we access the firmware settings via the serial port. This is by design. Think of this device as being a home fiber gateway. No monitor or console required. We have remote access to it after is has been setup.

Here’s a discussion on the double characters: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/17229/use-a-serial-console This is what I’m seeing too.

@george1421 This what I have been able to accomplish for far:

Change the fogproject/src/ipxe/src/config/console.h and the fogproject/src/ipxe/src-efi/config files, commenting out the CONSOLE_FRAMEBUFFER and uncommenting the CONSOLE_SERIAL

Add console=ttyS0,115200n8 to /var/www/fog/lig/fog/bootmenu.class.php file. The line that was changed contained “nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0”

Then re-compiled ipxe.efi and 10secdley/ipxe.efi.

That is workable but I’m getting the following on the display

If I disable the CONSOLE_PCBIOS then I can’t use the keyboard but it fixes the display issue. I read that I should turn off the serial redirect in the bois but then I can’t get back to the bois.

Any thought on how I can correct the duplicate character display problem?

Thanks in advance,

Robert

I would like to use FOG to management the installation process for 100s of client devices that only have a serial console. Has anyone used FOG to management devices that only have a serial console connection?
