I sometimes use minicom, because it's generally available and can send BREAK, but I usually wind up using screen, because then I can run it on my serial console server, and connect to it from multiple places. I also use rtty, but it isn't as useable because USB serial devices don't number consistently. > I'm looking for a program that can automatically reconnect to the USB > serial after the RIOT board does a restart.

However, when the board resets, it loses the connection. Which board? Are you using a board with an FTDI chip attached to a serial console? Or one with a built-in USB? There is also the interaction with the flashing process, which sometimes needsd the USB connection. I'd like to convince the minicom and screen guys to do some kind of back-off when the flasher asks. (This is also kinda a call for dual TTY devices that showed up in SunOS 4,AIX,etc. back in the 1990s that let UUCP run well before we had mgetty.) -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | IoT architect [ ] m...@sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [
