Hi,
Does the core installation have a terminal emulator allowing use of a serial port? I’m interested to find the pinout for an unusual connector. A Hirose 3560-16S rather than the familiar DE-9 or DB-25.
Thanks, … Peter E.

hi Peasthope,
I know Synapctic has the cutecom and minicom packages in the sid repo.
Those are the only ones I’ve seen that mention the serial port.
I hope that this helps.compiled this list a couple months ago for my cousin who is getting into “makin’ stuffs with RaspberryPi”
some terminal emulators which are geared toward serial comms (X based gui ~~ terminal emulator clients):
PuTTTY (debian package “putty”) (project homepage: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ ) (cross-platform: Linux, Unix, OS X, Windows)
CuteCom (debian package “cutecom”) (project homepage: http://github.com/neundorf/CuteCom )
gtkterm (same-named debian package) screenshot: https://screenshots.debian.net/package/gtkterm homepage: https://github.com/Jeija/gtkterm
also:
moserial (carried by LinuxMint and Ubuntu repos, but not debian) homepage: https://wiki.gnome.org/moserial __ helpdocs: https://help.gnome.org/users/moserial/stable/intro.html.en
HTerm (homepage+screenshots: http://www.der-hammer.info/terminal/ (cross-platform: Linux, Windows)
-=-
ScriptCommunicator (homepage: https://sourceforge.net/projects/scriptcommunicator/ or https://scriptcommunicator.sourceforge.io/)
features:
• cross-platform: Linux, Mac OS, Windows
• serial port (RS232, USB to serial)
• TCP client/server (network proxy support for TCP clients)
• UDP
• SPI (Aardvark I2C/SPI)
• I2C (Aardvark I2C/SPI)
• CAN (PCAN-USB, only on windows)
• ascii, hexadecimal, decimal, binary and mixed console=============
additional tools useful for “working with the serial console” (terminal applications, non-gui ~~ no xserver required):
cu (same-named debian package)(aka the “call up” command)
screen (same-named debian package) (project homepage: https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ )
kermit (debian package “ckermit”) (project homepage: http://www.kermitproject.org/ )
G-Kermit (debian package “gkermit) runs on the remote device you are connected to ( homepage/docs: http://www.kermitproject.org/gkermit.html )
C-Kermit (debian package “ckermit”) handles terminal sessions, file transfer, character-set conversion, scripting (homjepage/docs: http://www.kermitproject.org/ck90.html )“serial terminal” programs installable from debian repository:
picocom (project homepage: https://github.com/npat-efault/picocom )
minicom (project homepage: https://alioth.debian.org/projects/minicom/ )
setserial (same-named debian package) sets and/or reports the configuration information associated with a serial port=============
Various other tools are available, including the cross-platform https://sourceforge.net/projects/syncterm (handles comm via direct serial connections).
To shop around for additional tools, a good page to visit is https://sourceforge.net/directory/terminals/serial/os:linux/Thanks linuxdaddy and skidoo. I installed minicom and will report progress.
Regards, … peter e.
