RS232 Terminal configuration

Serial Terminal configuration

You will need a Serial terminal emulator to communicate with U-Boot/Linux console. You can choose between:

• Kermit
• Minicom
• GTKTerm
• Screen
• Microcom

We suggest you to use Kermit as Terminal emulator. Minicom was sadly reported to have problems when communicating with U-Boot (ZModem data transfer). If you just need a simple serial console and not to transfer data through the serial link, then GTKTerm is the perfect choice ! (gtkterm package in Ubuntu)
