Re: Terminal in Linux?

Yeah, minicom works great. Just make sure you set it up correctly first (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control). Your serial device will be /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 for a normal serial port, and /dev/ttyUSB0 for a USB serial adapter. Don't worry about baud rate, the FRC boot loader will handle it (although 115200 baud is fastest).
