[beagleboard-gsoc] IDC10-DB9 cable problem

Hi everyone,

I just wrote a blog entry about how to fix the IDC10-DB9 cable Digikey is currently shipping (it seems to affect many GSoC students, plus at least 1 other person on #beagle).

It looks like the people who manufactured the cable got confused with a color change of the wires by their RS-232 cable supplier (since it's non-standard)...

Best regards,

Nicolas

Can you send me the DigiKey part number?

Part number: BBC01-ND.

Thanks!

Gerald, did I order wrong item?

Nope. This is the right number. It just sounds like they built them wrong.
