As its name suggests, picocom is a minimal dumb-terminal emulation
|
||
|
|
program. It is, in principle, very much like minicom, only it's pico
|
||
|
|
instead of mini!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Picocom was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem configuration,
|
||
|
|
testing, and debugging tool. It has also served (quite well) as a
|
||
|
|
low-tech "terminal-window" to allow operator intervention in PPP
|
||
|
|
connection scripts (something like the ms-windows "open terminal window
|
||
|
|
before / after dialing" feature). It could also prove useful in many
|
||
|
|
other similar tasks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Picocom is ideal for embedded systems since its memory footprint is
|
||
|
|
minimal (less than 20K, when stripped).
