Linux under the Serial debugging tool/serial Terminal recommendation: picocom

For Picocom, Kermit, Minicom, picocom is the easiest to use, but also fully meet my needs.

installation (Mint/ubuntu):
$ sudo apt-get install picocom
Use :
$ picocom-b 115200/dev/ttyusb0
(/dev/ttyusb0 is the serial device file, if not the USB to the serial port, then the/dev/ttys*)
(You can set an alias, such as Alias Pc= ' Picocom-b 115200/dev/ttyusb0 ', so that the terminal input sudo pc can open the terminal)
Exit :
Ctrl-a is an escape key, you can exit the terminal by pressing CTRL-A ctrl-q.
effect :

comparison :
picocom:
Pros: Simple, text can have color, will not change the background of the terminal (I like translucent)
Cons: Slow Startup and shutdown

minicom:
Advantages: Fast Start-up speed
Disadvantage: When the color is set (Minicom-c on), the background can not be set transparent, compared to the egg pain, in addition to Chinese display problems (plus-r utf-8 not), in addition, serial data output to the terminal, it is not good to replicate the existing data (will move).

Kermit:
Pros: Powerful, with its own scripting language and command line
Cons: I don't need these features for the time being, if you want to do something, look at this page: http://m.blog.chinaunix.net/uid-9525959-id-2001599.html

For Windows, you can use putty or SECURECRT,
It is recommended to use SecureCRT, but also to record the existing serial port sessions, set the transparency, etc. (although some settings have just started),
Putty The most annoying thing is that every time the mouse scrolling, the line jumps particularly much, find the data is difficult, do not know where to set (but people are free of good!) ）
