[ECOS] Read an string from serial port

[Michael Anburaj]

This may be due to difference in BAUD rate.

I don't know how you set the BAUD rate when using ‘echo’ command (May be it 
defaults to a known value, which may be different from what eCOS uses 
(38400)).

Use 'minicom' on linux, where you can specify the serial port parameters 
(like BAUD) & match things on both ends.


Cheers,
-Mike.
