USB Serial Out for WIZ v1.1.0

Finally a way to get serial out via the normal WIZ USB Cable!
Makes developing much more comfortable!

HOW TO USE

Launch the 'USBSerialUp.gpe' application located in the USBSerial directory
on your SDRAM card.

Connect the stock USB serial cable that came with your Wiz to a PC.
In this example, we will use a linux box. First, as root, you must install the usbserial module with flags to identify the USBSerial module:

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0525 product=0xA4A6

You should see in 'dmesg':

usb X-Y: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0

Use any serial manager of your liking to attach to the ttyUSB0 device and
thus to your Wiz. The author prefers kermit, so it is exampled here.

# kermit
> set line /dev/ttyUSB0
> connect

Wait for the getty process on the Wiz to detect carrier and launch. This
generally takes 0.5-1.5 seconds. When presented with a login: prompt, login
as root (as suggested by the text preceding the login prompt):

login: root

At this point, you should now be logged in with interactive access on your
Wiz.

When you are done (to free up the resources used by the serial interface),
just restart the Wiz to remove the serial listening daemon and modules.
