Minicom is Linux under the serial communication software, the following is the installation and configuration of Ubuntu minicom.
Installation:
sudo apt-get install minicom
or search for "minicom" in the newly-made Package Manager to install the search minicom
Configuration:
Before using minicom, you must first ensure that you have read/write access to the serial port. Serial COM1 corresponds to ttyS0, COM2 corresponds to ttyS1.
Use this command to see your permissions on the COM1:
$ ls-l/DEV/TTYS0
1. Run $ sudo minicom
2. Press CTRL + A, let go, then press O, and the configuration menu appears.
3. Select Serial Port Setup, where the icon appears in "Change which setting", type "a", at which point the cursor moves to the corresponding position in item A: The serial port COM1 corresponds to TtyS0, COM2 corresponds to ttyS1.
For baud rate, data bit and stop bit configuration, type "E", baud rate selected as 115200 8N1 (parity none, stop bit 1),
Hard/Software flow control type "F" and "G" respectively and select No.
After confirming that the configuration is correct, type Enter to return to the ancestor configuration interface and save it as the default configuration. (That is, save Setup as DFL), and then restart minicom is just the configuration to take effect, after connecting the Development Board serial line, you can print the correct serial port information in the minicom.
4. The default port/dev/tty8, but cannot change, had to write a configuration file.
In the/etc/minicom/directory is the minicom configuration file
My configuration file is minirc.ttysusb0
The contents are as follows:
In the/etc/minicom/directory is the minicom configuration file
My configuration file is minirc.ttyusb0
The contents are as follows:
# machine-generated File-use "Minicom-s" to the change parameters.
PR PORT/DEV/TTYUSB0//I am using a USB to serial port
PU baudrate 115200//baud rate of transmission
PU Bits 8
Pu parity N
PU StopBits 1
Pu Minit
Pu Mreset
Pu rtscts No
Note that the TtyUSB1 USB must be capitalized
When you run minicom, enter the command minicom TTYS0.
Send file:
Send a file using the Zmodem protocol in minicom: Run the configured minicom, press Ctrl-a First, and then press the S key. Select the Zmodem protocol carriage return. Then use the arrows and double-click spaces to select the files you want to send, and then press ENTER to send.

Because often use the serial port, so in Ubuntu to explore the serial terminal program, before using gtkterm, printing good. Today found Minicom, originally thought is a simple and easy to use Terminal program, but found to be its name to flicker, this minicom function more, set up also many, but many choices are always good.
Naturally it is first to sudo apt-get install minicom
Run, this is the character interface program, a minicom on my serial port detected/dev/tty8 (I do not know how it detected this), re-run minicom-s, into the Settings menu, hehe, is really rich options. Fortunately, only need to change the serial port for/DEV/TTYS0, set the correct baud rate, OK, in the connection process ctrl-a activation menu, and then press Q can exit (seems a bit troublesome to say).
This program must be old, by default, the modem initialization sequence will be issued automatically, so use Minicom-o to run better, you can skip this modem initialization.
