I’m providing this freely just because I’ve no reason not to but without support.

it’ll still be there after you blow up your serial port and have to reboot the computer.ĭisclaimer: if any of the above or the use of the terminal breaks your computer, it’s not my fault.

Whatever you type in the left window is non-volatile, i.e. Oh and you can save the left panel into a file if you want. Also you can define up to 10 pages of info (Notepads) and send that – in addition you have up to 9 presets – handy for initialisation sequences. You can send all of that out the serial line – or just a selected area or indeed whatever is in your clipboard. In the simplest case you set up the serial port you want, ensure it’s set to the right baud rate, select “serial – open” and you’re all set (I’m assuming you have an FTDI or similar on your USB lead, talking to the serial on the ESP8266 device. The most important bits are the two big windows – on the left is the area you type in – multi line – and on the right is the output from the serial line – i.e. So above right you should see the editor. If you do not want GRUB2 to listen on the serial device, but only want getty listening after boot then follow these steps.For reasons beyond me the original article on my serial terminal, originally put together when I was messing with LUA, has disappeared from the blog entirely – and so here’s a quickly updated version but this is no longer developed as I use YAT which is GREAT. Without GRUB2, systemd only Ignore this entire section if you have configured GRUB2 to listen on the serial interface. When Arch boots, systemd will automatically start a getty session to listen on the same device with the same settings. GRUBTERMINAL='console serial' would enable both display and serial): # Serial console GRUBTERMINAL=serial GRUBSERIALCOMMAND='serial -speed=38400 -unit=0 -word=8 -parity=no -stop=1' Rebuild the grub.cfg file with following command: # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg After a reboot, getty will be listening on /dev/ttyS0, expecting 38400 baud, 8 data bits, no parity and one stop bit. GRUBCMDLINELINUXDEFAULT='console=tty0 console=ttyS0,38400n8' Now we need to tell grub where is the console and what command to start in order to enable the serial console (Note as above for Linux kernel, one can append multiple input/output terminals in grub e.g.
