PCI to serial port in Linux on vmwarevm

Use platform Virtual Machine + fedora8

1. After the PCI to serial port driver is installed, COM (such as COM1) will be displayed in windows );

2. When the Linux operating system is disabled, open the settings in the Virtual Machine and add a serial port. The serial port number is the same as that in windows.

3. Configure minicom on a Linux terminal and run the command: minicom-s.

Select Serial Port setup

Device Selection: COM1 corresponds to/dev/ttys0, and so on. (Note that although it is PCI to serial port or USB to serial port, it is still a serial port device.

USB serial0 and so on, because it has been converted into a serial port in windows, that is, do not install the PCI to serial port driver in Linux, as long as there is a serial port driver.

However, if Linux is not installed on a virtual machine, the PCI to serial port driver is required in Linux)

Set the baud rate and other parameters, save the settings, and exit.

Exit has two options: one is exit, the other is exit from minicom, the former is still in minicom, press Ctrl + A, you can choose a different function by A-Z, Press X to exit minicom. The latter directly returns to the command line, and then input minicom to view the information about the Development Board (the premise is that the Development Board is connected to the computer ).
