Packages Minicom
Full-screen serial communication program, the one everyone already knows
- Version recorded: 2.10
-
Categories:
serial-terminals - Upstream: https://salsa.debian.org/minicom-team/minicom
A full-screen terminal program for serial ports, with menu-driven configuration, capture-to-file and modem dialling that nobody uses any more.
It is carried because it is what existing documentation assumes. When an upstream project's instructions say 'open minicom at 115200 8N1', having it present means those instructions work verbatim rather than needing translation.
Membership of the dialout group.
- apt:
minicom
Its exit key sequence (Ctrl-A then X) surprises people, and it will happily start with a saved configuration that does not match the device in front of you. tio is the better default; minicom is here for compatibility with instructions written elsewhere.
