Fedora14 64位环境下minicom使用方法

1.首先得先安装minicom：

   （1）yum install minicom安装

2.安装好后：

  （1）在root下，输入命令minicom –s，屏幕出现如下的界面：
# minicom -s
minicom: WARNING: configuration file not found, using defaults
+-----[configuration]------+
| Filenames and paths      |
| File transfer protocols |
| Serial port setup             |
| Modem and dialing         |
| Screen and keyboard     |
| Save setup as dfl           |
| Save setup as..             |
| Exit                    |
| Exit from Minicom          |
+------------------------------+

（2）设置serial port setup
使用down箭头选择serial port setup,出现具体各选项的配置：
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| A -    Serial Device      : /dev/modem                |
| B - Lockfile Location     : /var/lock                 |      
| C -   Callin Program      :                    |
| D - Callout Program      :                       |
| E -    Bps/Par/Bits       : 115200 8N1           |
| F - Hardware Flow Control : Yes                       |
| G - Software Flow Control : No                    |
|                                                                         |
|    Change which setting?                              |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

说明：
将选项A的值设置为/dev/ttyS0表示是串口1，如用串口2，设置为/dev/ttyS1，依次类推；如果不成功，最容易在这出岔子，ttyS0，ttyS1，一定要试试。
将选项E的值（波特率）设置为115200；
将选项F的值（硬件流）改成No；

设置过程中命令的使用，例如需要修改选项A的值，在Change with setting？选项后输入
A则光标转移到A选项后，可以对A选项的值进行修改。
修改完后的界面如下:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| A -    Serial Device      : /dev/ttyS0              |
| B - Lockfile Location     : /var/lock                                     |
| C -   Callin Program      :                                                   |
| D - Callout Program      :                                                  |
| E -    Bps/Par/Bits       : 115200 8N1                                |
| F - Hardware Flow Control : No                    |
| G - Software Flow Control : No                                         |

|    Change which setting?                                                  |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
按回车退回[configuration]界面。

（3）在[configuration]界面中，选择Save setup as dfl。
选择Save setup as dfl选项将修改后的配置信息进行保存为默认的配置选项。

（4）选择Exit from minicom 。
选择Exit from minicom 选项从配置菜单返回到命令行。

（5）重新启动minicom，则可以使用。出现的界面如下：
#minicom
Welcome to minicom 2.3
OPTIONS: I18n

Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys


附加说明：
minicom 启动后,先按 Ctrl+A 键,再按 Z 键(注意不是连续按,Ctrl+A松开后才按 Z) ,进入主配置界面。如按q可退回终端。
