Introduction

Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (see man screen). It can be used as an UART/tty terminal to drive APF*.

Install

In debian/ubuntu there is a package :

$ sudo apt-get install screen

Connect to tty

To connect tty simply type :

$ screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

Where '/dev/ttyUSB0' is your uart tty connection.

To quit the terminal do Ctl-A K then 'y'.

tips

Scroll correctly

On debian if you use the mouse well to scroll terminal it will scroll the commands history. To solve this problem just add this magic formula in your ~/.screenrc :

termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@

The explanation is given on this stackoverflow question.
