Plug-in the cable and connect the cable to LinkIt Smart 7688.
3)
Open a Terminal session. You can open it at
Applications/Utilities/Terminal

4)
Type
ls /dev/cu*
in the Terminal. You should see a list of devices. Look for something like
cu.usbserial-XXXXXXXX
where
XXXXXXXX
is usually a random identifier. This is the serial
device used to access the system console. For example:
$ls /dev/cu*
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem
/dev/cu.pablop-WirelessiAP
/dev/cu.usbserial-A6YMCQBR
5)
Use the
screen
utility to connect to the serial port and set the baudrate to
57600
.
This is
because the baudrate of the system console is
57600
by default. For example:
$screen /dev/cu.usbserial-XXXXXXXX 57600
