The command you provided is using the microcom tool to establish a serial communication connection with a device.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
microcom
: It is the name of the tool or command being used. Microcom is a minimalistic serial communication program typically used for debugging purposes.
--port ${path-to-serial_port}
: This specifies the path or location of the serial port that the program will use for communication. You need to replace ${path-to-serial_port}
with the actual path to the serial port. The actual path depends on the operating system and the hardware configuration. For example, on Linux, it could be something like /dev/ttyACM0
or /dev/ttyUSB0
.
--speed ${baud_rate}
: This option sets the baud rate (data transfer rate) for the serial communication. Replace ${baud_rate}
with the desired baud rate value. Common baud rates include 9600, 115200, and so on. The actual value to set depends on the device you are trying to communicate with, as it should match the device's baud rate configuration.
Overall, this command is used to establish a serial connection with a device located at the specified serial port using the given baud rate for communication.
