Console from Linux
There are many serial terminal applications for Linux, three common used applications are 'picocom', 'screen', and 'minicom'. These examples demonstrate all three applications and assume that the serial device is "/dev/ttyUSB0" which is common for USB adapters. Be sure to replace the serial device string with that of the device on your workstation.
'picocom' is a very small and simple client.
picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
For Rev C hardware or newer.
picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyACM0
'screen' is a terminal multiplexer which happens to have serial support.
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
For Rev C hardware or newer.
screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200
Or a very commonly used client is 'minicom' which is quite powerful but requires some setup:
minicom -s
- Navigate to 'serial port setup'
- Type "a" and change location of serial device to '/dev/ttyUSB0' then hit "enter"
- If needed, modify the settings to match this and hit "esc" when done:
E - Bps/Par/Bits : 115200 8N1
F - Hardware Flow Control : No
G - Software Flow Control : No
- Navigate to 'Save setup as dfl', hit "enter", and then "esc"
