DESCRIPTION
The psu utility is used to communicate with the South Coast Science power supply (PSU) board for BeagleBone via a serial port connection.
The utility can be used in either of two modes:
- Interactive - the user is given a command prompt. A series of commands can be issued.
- Command - a single PSU command is supplied as a command line parameter
Note: the psu utility is not available on Raspberry Pi systems.
