Hello,

I use a Serial to USB cable to connect the wandboard to a Raspberry.

Now, on the wandboard, I have changed in file /etc/ttys this line

ttyu0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt100   on secure

to

ttyu0   "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire.115200"       vt100   on secure

On the Raspberry I issue

script outfile.txt
cu -l/dev/cuaU0 -s115200

So I get the output from the wandbord recorded in the file outfile.txt.
This file can not be corrupted if the wandboard crashes.
(The Raspberry runs  FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE #8 r273483M without problems.)

The test

cd /usr/src
make -j20 buildworld

now finished successfully.

Start: Mo 20:01:55, completed: Tue 02:39:50

Thank you to you all for advice 

Regards

Ulrich
