Linux terminal programs (гадны төхөөрөмжийг сериал портоор дебагдахад ашиглах линуксын терминал программууд)

Minicom: similar to HyperTerminal on Windows, but without GUI. It's usually included in linux distros.
One has to configure it before really use, by typing:

minicom -s

Add your user account to the uucp group (that owns /dev/ttySx devices) by adding the user account to this group in the /etc/group file.


C-Kermit: compared to minicom more powerful. Need to install it.
Here are short instructions how to install it:
- create a new folder in /opt (i.e., /opt/kermit)
- download and save compressed source from ftp://www.columbia.edu/kermit/archives/cku211.tar.gz in gunzip format
- decompress it, by typing

gunzip < file.tar.gz | tar xvf -

- make install for linux, by typing

make linux

and it produces an executable called

wermit

.
- try it out to make sure it works, by typing

./wermit

- copy it to public folder (i.e., /usr/bin) by renaming as

kermit

and give appropriate permission

Setting up direct null-modem connection over a serial port (i.e., COM1 or /dev/ttyS0) by using C-Kermit:
- start C-Kermit by typing

- from the kermit command line give following commands:

set modem type none

indicating null-modem connection

set line /dev/ttyS0
