i managed to get hello_world working on my c121, connected through a pl2303 usb/serial cable to my macbookpro.
but found that the connection is extremely noisy. often the movement of me putting down the phone on the table is enough to break the upload. is that a common problem with these headphone/serial cable plugs?
no. maybe something about your cable or plug or socket in the phone? I only get unreliable/noisy transmissions if the plug is not properly inserted all the way to the end (which is likely since the plug housing diameter is typically a bit larger than what the phone case can take unless you remove the PCB from the phone, or have a very low-diameter plug housing of your cable.
Initially I was using a 2.5mm to 3.5mm headphone adapter cable (the ones for attaching regular 3.5mm headphones to phones that have a 2.5mm plug, as those plugs are smaller than anything I've seen from the T191 serial cables so far).

- options.c_cflag |= CLOCAL;
This is something I pondered of doing anyway... it simply made no difference on Linux / pl2303 so I never bothered...
But I'm happy to merge it.
