Certain unsupported encodings will completely render the UI useless, so if the UI looks strange, try setting the following environment variable: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" Text Input Not Working ====================== Most development boards require Serial port setup -> Hardware Flow Control to be set to "No" to input text. - Bottle: verfügbar auf arm64_linux, arm64_sequoia, arm64_sonoma, arm64_tahoe, sonoma, x86_64_linux ## Version und Aktualität - Seite generiert: 2026-07-25 - Manager-Version: 2.11.1 - Manager aktualisiert: 2026-06-04 - lokale Daten: OK - Upstream-Repository: https://packages.debian.org/sid/minicom - Info: Release/tag comparison is only available for GitHub repositories. ## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung Minicom is one of the long-running Unix serial-communications programs that carried DOS-style modem workflows into text-mode Unix environments. Source headers in the codebase identify Miquel van Smoorenburg as the original author for the 1991-1996 minicom communications package, and Debian describes the program as modeled on the MS-DOS Telix interface: a full-screen, menu-driven terminal for modems and serial consoles. ### Projektgeschichte Its role expanded beyond dial-up modem use into a general serial-console tool. The feature set documented by Debian and the man page includes ANSI and VT102 terminal emulation, dialing directories with auto-redial, UUCP-style serial-device locks, capture-to-file logging, remappable keys, startup scripting, and external X/Y/ZMODEM file-transfer helpers. That made it useful both for historical modem work and for hardware bring-up, embedded devices, lab equipment, routers, and other systems reached through a serial port. ### Wie es verwendet wird In package-manager terms, minicom occupies the classic ncurses serial-terminal niche next to smaller tools such as picocom and multipurpose terminal programs such as screen. Its wide distro packaging reflects that niche: it is boring infrastructure for people who need a configurable serial console rather than a graphical terminal emulator. ### Quellen - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. -
