- MINICOM LOG TO FILE SOFTWARE
- MINICOM LOG TO FILE PASSWORD
- MINICOM LOG TO FILE WINDOWS
There is a demo which shows enabling Serial Console on Raspberry Pi Zero W.
MINICOM LOG TO FILE PASSWORD
Below picture shows the minicom output which shows the boot log of Raspberry-pi, the shell can be accessed using username: pi and password “raspberry” In the same /boot/ partition one more text file is found with name cmdline.txt edit this file and make sure that the following boot arguments are added in the cmdline.txt fileĪbove two settings enable serial console on Raspberry Pi zero and Linux shell can be accessed via serial port to configure Wifi and N/W parameters. Add the following line to the bottom of the file: /opt/minicom/2.2/bin, save and exit - then relaunch the terminal. When you mount Raspberry-Pi sd-card, in the /boot/ partition there is a config.txt file, edit this file and add a config variable If you are debugging your own keyboard in your user config repository, use config/boards/shields.

The hardware setup required for connecting the serial console is as shown below. The CONFIGZMKUSBLOGGING KConfig value needs to be set, either by copy and pasting into the app/prj.conf file, or by running west build -t menuconfig and manually enabling the setting in that UI at ZMK -> Advanced -> USB Logging.
MINICOM LOG TO FILE SOFTWARE
As we are using Ubuntu PC as a development host for cross-compiling the kernel and required software running on Raspberry Pi, we use /dev/ttyUSB0 and Minicom serial terminal for getting the data from the board.
MINICOM LOG TO FILE WINDOWS
This module gives COM port on Windows system or /dev/ttyUSBX device on Linux PC. Raspberry Pi Zero 40 pin header, pin-6 is GND, pin-8 is UART_TXD and pin-10 UART_RXD, these pins are used to connect to PC using PL2303HX USB To TTL(Serial) Converted module. For access Linux board over the network and to configure wifi on Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is no exception for this, Even though Raspberry Pi support HDMI for UI, enabling the serial console will help in getting the Linux boot logs as well as to enter into Linux shell. In a situation where my Linux OS has Xwindows, I can just close the terminal, but in an OS where there is no Xwindows, I have to switch to another terminal, and kill the PID to end the session.The serial console plays a very important role in the development of system software and applications on Embedded Linux boards. Anyways, its definitely a workable solution and super helpful! Thank you guys! One more question, when I access the switch manually using cu or screen, after I am done, I type “exit”, but you are not fully out of the terminal session. Sometimes accessing the switch fails, and looking at the dump file, it looks like the expect and send are out of sync with the switch, but I can add a retry to work with it. This might not be needed now, but it was helping when I was using screen, so I left that in.
