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
