Thanks Chris, I didn't think Minicom had such an advanced/rich UI.
I did search all the menus and set all the details of my connection (I
think !) and saved it as 'AVR'. But doesn't work. Tried exiting
Minicom
and the AVR board, then starting Minico like this (after looking at
the
man page) to load my 'AVR' configuration file :
"sudo Minicom -o AVR"
but Minicom keeps using the default setting (modem etc), and in the
menu
I can see an option "Save config as AVR", but no option to "Load AVR",
or such... hmmmmmm....
Yeah, that's several of the reasons I use kermit. No GUI to wade
thru. No sudo or root silliness. No doing of anything other than what
is expected. On FreeBSD the only difference is we use /dev/cuaa0
rather than ttyS0 as shown below:
(as plain old non-root user)
% kermit -l /dev/ttyS0 -b 9600
Or better yet write this in ~/.kermrc and simply "kermit" to start:
set line /dev/ttyS0
set speed 9600
set flow none
set carrier-watch off
connect
Pretty darn simple and straight forward. The carrier-watch thing
tells Kermit to ignore DTR. Guessing this is what you want, its not
what you would want with a modem. Without the connect line kermit
starts in command mode. Type "c <return>" to connect. Control-\Q to
hangup and exit. Control-\? to see what other choices you have.
Using the above .kermrc if one wishes to log the session text for
later analysis then type Control-\C back to the kermit command mode,
"log session myloggedsession.log<return>" and then "c <return>".
Without the connect line in ~/.kermrc it starts in the kermit command
mode.
