To create a new configuration for the serial port, run minicom as follows under root:
# minicom -c on -s
Command line options used above enable color (-c on) and start the setup procedure (-s).
From the setup menu configure the serial port name and parameters - "Serial port setup" -> "A" for the
"Serial Device" (/dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1) and "E" for the "Bps/Par/Bits" setup, which is "115200 8N1" by
default.
You may want to remove the Init (A) and Reset (B) modem strings under "Modem and dialing" menu.
Once ready, save the configuration either into default location (Save setup as dfl) or otherwise into a
separate name (Save setup as...), in which case you will have to specify the non-default configuration
every time you start minicom.
Now, you can start minicom as a regular user:
$ minicom -c on
And with the non-default configuration, assuming you saved it under "ttyS0" name:
$ minicom -c on ttyS0
In order to send multi-line scripts to the target, set the "Newline delay (ms)" under "Terminal settings"
(Alt+T) to 99. This step must be completed each time before sending a multi-line text file.
