I am running the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) on a Pi 4 with 8GB RAM. I have a need (go figure) to make use of serial terminal software to access some devices via serial ports.
I have some USB PL2302 serial port devices.
The devices (USB-serial and end-device) DO work as verified by using Kermit on the same machine.
Seeking a nicer UI I installed PuTTY and, later, minicom.
Neither work. When I click on the entry in the dropdown menu under System Tools PuTTY does nothing and minicom flashes up what appears to be a terminal windo/console window for a fraction of a second.
I installed both using the add/remove software tool. No dependencies were remarked when installing either.
Any thoughts? Is this a 64-bit issue?
Kermit works perfectly well but I have to keep setting line speed, bits, parity, carrier-watch off etc etc and its just not slick.
Regards,
Ian
