I recently moved from Windows 7 to Ubuntu (Not a total noob nor an expert in Linux flavors). Teraterm was the terminal emulator I used to connect to my UART enabled devices in Windows. I studied a few in Ubuntu like Minicom, Qodem, Cutecom and even PuTTY. I could notice that Minicom is probably the widely used but couldn't get much insight into its scripts offers good control like a .ttl macro script offers for Teraterm. (Unfortunately, I don't have much time to experiment with the above myself. Some experience-oriented advice is what I seek) Which would be a better choice for me to run scripts? Or could I get the source code of Teraterm and build it?
PS : XModem support would be a lovely plus too.
gnome-terminal. It offers you a nice set of visual configuration options and allows you to use the full capabilities of Ubuntu's Bash shell. Please describe what features you are missing ingnome-terminalexactly, if any. – Byte Commander Mar 26 '17 at 11:29gnome-terminaldoesn't have such a capability on its own I think. – skrowten_hermit Mar 26 '17 at 13:38minicom, you may by default use the interpreterrunscript. I don'tknow.ttllanguage, so I cannot compare. Inminicom, there is some possibility to use other script interpreters. – ridgy Mar 26 '17 at 14:12teratermhere. But I suppose it is heavily depending on windows. Maybe it runs withwine. – ridgy Mar 26 '17 at 14:22runscript? I was able to get the source code but I'm a bit skeptical. Coz all over the web, people talk about Teraterm run on Windows. I don't wanna end up with an unstable emulator. Something tried and tested would be great. – skrowten_hermit Mar 26 '17 at 14:24minicom -s <script>runs a script at startup. Within the script, you can then again leaveminicom. From within minicom, you can start a script withG <script>. In the configuration, you can define the script directory and the script interpreter (so you are not bound torunscript). And yes, it supports xmodem, ymodem, zmodem and kermit. – ridgy Mar 26 '17 at 14:41
