The typical problem I have with minicom is that the tty port gets messed up (baud rate, handshake, etc. is wrong) and minicom cannot recover it. Minicom will tell you it is changing the port configuration (baud rate, for instance) and say that the baud rate is what you set it to, but it really isn't.
This is a known issue, bug or feature: http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=301193&gr...
Hi Clemens,
Not exactly. The above says "Minicom continues to use the original value unless you save the setup, then quit and restart minicom." My experience is that changing the baud rate on the fly works, but sometimes the port gets into a funky state and minicom "loses control" of it.
Interestingly, I've never had a problem getting kermit to reset the port characteristics to a sane setting when this happens, and then minicom will behave again, for a while.
If you ran into a problem which is reproducable, please try to fix it and/or contact the developers of minicom to get it fixed.
Regards,
Unfortunately, it is not reliably reproducible. :-( Pure speculation is that incoming serial (from powering up the attached development board) sometimes confuses the port and minicom doesn't use a big enough hammer to reset it.
Best regards, gvb
