Linux: Setting up of Minicom

Use Terminal to make a setup of minicom.

Type commands as:
minicom -s

A config menu will appear.
Select : Serial Port Setup option
Update the name based on device like:
/dev/ttyUSB0 (In case of Serial to USB connectors) or
/dev/ttyS0 (In case of serial cables)

Press ENTER key.

Save the setup.
It will create a default config file(with name as "dfl") which will be used by the minicom while starting up.

We can have different config files depending on devices being in use... To use a specific config file use the following command:
minicom xyz

Enjoy!!!
