In order to make the development environment complete in Ubuntu, it is still decided to use the serial port terminal in Linux. Naturally, I thought of the mini-COM Communication Software. Its use relies entirely on the keyboard. Although it is not as easy as a "Super Terminal", it should be used to it frequently, haha.

Because it is installed in the VMware-7.1.2 Ubuntu 10.10, so first let the Virtual Machine support serial operation.

1. Shut down the operating system in the virtual machine.

2. Add serial port support for Vmware:

Vmware menu bar "VM"-> "Settings"-> "Hardware"-> "Add"-> "Serial Port"-> "Next"-> "Next"-> "Finish "->" OK ", then run the virtual machine operating system.

3. Open the terminal and enter the following command to install minicom:

Root @ ubuntu :~ # Apt-get install minicom

4. to configure minicom, first enter the following command:

Root @ ubuntu :~ # Minicom-s
On the [configuration] Page, select the Serial port setup option through the up and down keys and press enter to configure the settings.

The icon shown in "Change which setting" is as follows:

Type "A" and move the cursor to the corresponding position of item A: change the original string to ttyS1 (this is strange, COM1 corresponds to ttyS1, but in Fedora, ttyS0 is required ). Enter "enter" and return to "Change which setting.

Type "F". Item F is displayed as Hardware Flow Control: No.

Other options are the default settings.

Type "Press ENTER" and return to the [configuration] Page. Select Save setup as dfl and Save it as the default configuration.

Select Exit from Minicom to Exit minicom.

5. re-open minicom.

Root @ ubuntu :~ # Minicom

When other devices send serial data, the received data is displayed on minicom.

6. Exit minicom:

On The minicom interface, press ctrl + o, then press x, and select yes to exit.
