Console from Workstation

Console from Linux

There are many serial clients for Linux, but 3 simple ones would be picocom, screen, and minicom. These examples assume that your COM device is /dev/ttyUSB0 (common for USB adapters), but replace them with the COM device on your workstation.

Connect with picocom:

picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

Press Ctrl+A, release a only, then press x to exit.

Connect with screen:

screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

Connect with minicom:

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"

Console from Windows

Using Windows, PuTTY or Hyperterminal are suggested.
