an application like HyperTerminal on Linux?

Thang_Nguyen · February 12, 2009, 2:38pm

Hi,
I am looking for an application which can use as a HyperTerminal on Linux. I am using Ubuntu. I found an application which is cutecom. Unfortanously, I don’t have much experience to make it run. I don’t know if someone has different software or know how to use this, please tell me.
I tried to run ./configuration then it told I need CMake. I got it, but I don’t know how to use it.

Best regards,
Thang Nguyen

    minicom

I prefer GTKterm myself.

sudo apt-get install gtkterm

[...]

GNU screen works well as a serial terminal program. It is installed by
default on most Linux distributions (and also on Mac OS X). In an
xterm/terminal window (replace PORT with the port, and SPEED with the
desired bits per second):

screen /dev/PORT SPEED

for example:

screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

Use Ctrl-A, K to exit; see the screen manpage for more information.

I have a question about minicom. When I input a line longer than the size of the minicom terminal, the new character just replace the end character. I don’t know how to type it after go to the end line.
For example:
OMAP3 beagleboard.org # setenv bootargs ‘console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait omapfb.video_mode=1024x768MR-16@60’

You need to enable line-wrap by pressing Ctrl-A then W.
