Configuring Minicom

This topic explains how to modify the Minicom configuration file for the USB port and serial ID for your device. The default serial port settings depend on your development board. If your port differs from the default, you must modify the Minicom configuration file for your device (procedure below).

Note:

Although the Minicom configuration file contains the following statement, it is recommended that you manually edit the file for your changes. This approach is less error-prone than using the Minicom -s option.

# Machine-generated file - use "minicom -s" to change parameters.
