Minicom Download
My mac is running Snow Leopard, OSX 10.6 First install the following three drivers: http://pbxbook.com/other/sw/PL2303MacOSXv1. Mac's are excellent tools for accessing serial device TTY ports (to console into PBX's, switches, and routers). You just need a serial to USB adapter, the right driver, and some Terminal software. You can use screen, although Minicom (or a GUI program ) offer more features and functionality. Minicom is a serial communication program. It is a Unix clone of the well-known MS-DOS Telix program. It has ANSI color, a dialing directory, dial-a-list, and a scripting language. Minicom is a communication program which somewhat resembles the shareware program TELIX but is free with source code and runs under most unices. Features include dialing directory with auto-redial, support for UUCP-style lock files on serial devices, a separate script language interpreter, capture to file, multiple users with individual configurations, and more. 我们可以畅快的在Mac下使用串口工具了,今天介绍一个简单实用的minicom 1.安装minicom(注意:Mac下没有1500000这个波特率,Ubuntu下的minicom有) #brew install minicom //我的是tty.SLABUSBtoUART # ls /dev/tty.SLABUSBtoUART 2.

Then reboot your computer. Your computer should now detect the device using a serial to usb adapter (ls /dev). It should be something like cu.usbserial and/or tty.usbserial.Take note of the device name starting with a “cu”, so in my case I would take note of “cu.usbserial”.Then download minicom here: http://pbxbook.com/other/sw/minicom-2.2.zipOnce installed run minicom like this:
