The best thing may be for me just to have a little utility to do the ioctl() to set DTR. So whatever program uses the port needs to do the right thing for the device. On Windows, usbser.sys, the generic driver, does not assert DTR automatically.

However, Raspberry Pi’s UART is used by console by default as you saw in the output on step 3-4. Note that screen and minicom dont work yet. Now, UART connection between Raspberry Pi and PC is established. Add the lines below at the end of the file. Select “Append CR-LF” in “Transmitted Text”.ģ-1. Select Port number you checked on step 2-2.Ģ-6. Launch Termite and click on “Settings” button.Ģ-4. Open “Device Manager” and check the COM port number USB-Serial cable is using.

To send and receive serial data, let’s install and setup a terminal emulator program on PC.Ģ-2.

If I used Linux I would run a program like picocom or minicom.Also in Windows 7 I could install HyperTerminal and open COM1 port or use Putty for that. I need: Connect to its serial port from CygWin. Setting up terminal emulator on Windows PC I have: Windows 7 CygWin A development board connected to COM1 port. Connect USB-Serial cable to USB port on PCĢ. Connect the other side of jumper wires to Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins. Connect jumper wires to USB-Serial cable for Tx, Rx, and GND.ġ-2. Termite : Terminal emulator on Windows PC.ġ-1.minicom : Text-based terminal emulator on Raspberry Pi.3 jumper wires (male-female) : to connect Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins and USB-Serial cable.Īlso, terminal emulator programs are used both on Raspberry Pi and PC to send/receive data.USB-serial cable : USB to Serial UART converter cable such as this. Make sure the signal voltage level is correct.In this post, Raspberry Pi 3 B+ running Raspbian Stretch is used. Raspberry Pi board : Any Raspberry Pi should work.Setting up terminal emulator on Raspberry Pi minicom is a communication program which somewhat resembles the shareware program TELIX but is free with source code and runs under most Unices.I have launched the minicom on my Linux development host.The boot. Setting up terminal emulator on Windows PC I have a OMAP-l138 and I am following the OMAPL138 Software Developers Guide.Here is the list of contents of this post.
