minicom使用介绍

Linux下的Minicom的功能与Windows下的超级终端功能相似，可以通过串口控制外部的硬件
设备.适于在linux通过超级终端对嵌入式设备行管理.同样也可以使用minicom对外置Modem
进行控制.

GTES 10,10.5,11版本都包含minicom包，你可以直接安装他们:

# rpm -ivh minicom-xxx.rpm

源码包下载地址:

minicom/

安装源码包:

# tar zxf minicom-2.2.tar.gz
# cd minicom-2.2
# ./configure
# make 
# make install

第一次运行minicom，需要进行minicom的设置:

# minicom -s

B — lockfile Location : /var/lock

C — Calling Program :

D — Callout Program:

E — Bps/par/Bits : 9600 8N1

F — Hardware Flow Control : YES

G — Software Flow Control : NO

Change with setting?

将选项A的值设置为/dev/ttyS0 表示是串口1.
将选项E的值设置为9600.

初始化设置中可以设置默认上传/下载的目录,传输协议参数,串口波特率等.设置完成后，
选择”Save setup as dfl”,保存为默认设置.然后选择”Exit”,按Ctrl-A,再按z,
即可进入Minicom的主界面.
