Comment: Added connection_override

connection_override

Parameter
Parameterapplication

connection_override

TypeText text string
Value

A command line for calling some host application for communication to Charon on a given COM line.

Typically this parameter is used for mapping COM1 or COM2 or some "xterm" terminal emulator
"enable"
Allows new connection to override existing connection, if any. Enabled connection override on OPA0 allows to intercept virtual serial console.
When emulator detects new connection request on the port (10003 for the below example), it closes old connection, if any, and switches to the new one.
Example:
set
OPA0 application = "xterm -title OPA0 -e telnet 127.0.0.1 10003"

If "putty" terrminl emulator is going to be used as an option copy the following file to your home directory:

# mkdir -p $HOME/.config/putty/sessions (if it does not already exist)
# cp /opt/charon/putty/sessions/CHTERM-VT100 $HOME/.config/putty/sessions

Example:

set OPA0 application = "putty -load CHTERM-VT100 -title OPA0@XYZ -P 10003"

COM1 alias = OPA0
set OPA0 port = 10003 connection_override = enable
(warning) This is implemented only for serial lines using the "set XXX alias=YYY"  syntax. Legacy lines are not supported.
