[arch-general] Connection through USB to TTL Serial Cable

[Alan Jenkins]

Hey Csanyi,

I am not familliar with what you are trying to do but I thought I would do
what I could to help,

There are 2 packages that contain a binary called 'cu':

[alan at ditto ~]$ pkgfile -s cu
community/nltk-data
community/uucp

You can use pkgfile to find any binary or file that you need as I did above.

Hope this helps,

Alan Jenkins
