1. Overview[edit | edit source]
This stage explains how to connect the Linux terminal of your board to your host computer through the ST-LINK/V2-1.
Then you will see how to execute basic commands with the Linux command line interface in order to be familiarized with the Linux console.
2. The serial terminal[edit | edit source]
The serial terminal allows to communicate with the board trough a UART serial interface.
- Install minicom
PC $> sudo apt-get install minicom
- Get the ttyACM device instance that need to be used to access the ST-LINK/V2-1
PC $> ls /dev/ttyACM* /dev/ttyACM0
- Connect the minicom to the /dev/ttyACM0 device
PC $> minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 Welcome to minicom 2.7 OPTIONS: I18n Compiled on Nov 15 2018, 20:18:47. Port /dev/ttyACM0, 15:56:03 Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys
- Press the reset button to reset the board. You should see boot log displayed in the minicom window
