2732 ワード
The following guide will walk you through on setting up USB Serial Console Cable on a Linux via command line.
First of all, make sure you have a program called Minicom installed.
I will be using Ubuntu flavored Operating System for demonstration purposes.
Then you need to connect the USB Serial adapter and find out which serial port is it connected to.
You will see something similar to this output.
Make sure you
Open up minicom by running the command
Reflect the output you saw from dmesg and set it to the Serial Device by pressing AE > C
A – Serial Device :/dev/ttyUSB0 E – Bps/Par/Bits : 9600 8N1
Please see the following screenshot for more info.
Then Save setup as dfl then exit.
You should be able to login via the console port like the following…
If you wish to exit Minicom, use the command Ctrl A then Z then X.
