How do I reference the UART pins on the PI 2 header (pins 8 and 10) to start a serial session from the command line? I'd like to use GNU Screen, if possible. I'm guessing something like :
>$ screen /dev/ttySomethingOrAnother 115200
I'm a newb to the P64, and this is my first time trying to communicate with a peripheral.
Do I need to configure the pins to use their UART function? If so, how?
(If there are better Rx/Tx pins to connect to my device, I'm open to that. I just picked those pins from an example on connecting UART to the RPi)
Feel free to point me to any docs on the subject. (I'm still learning where to search for Pine64 info.)
