On your Host Operating System (not on guest operating system running with the Virtual Machine) you need to have a serial communication program like minicom (for Linux as host operating systems) or HyperTerminal (for Windows as host operating system). In this document only the setup of minicom program will be treated.
The required steps to get the usb-serial link work are:
sudo dmesg -c
dmesg | grep ttyUSB
on the standard output you will see something like:
[11401.006607] usb 1-1.1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
In such an example, ttyUSB0 is the serial device name, and /dev/ttyUSB0 is the serial device
sudo minicom -w -s
A - Serial Device : /dev/ttyUSB0
B - Lockfile Location : /var/lock
C - Callin Program :
D - Callout Program :
E - Bps/Par/Bits : 115200 8N1
F - Hardware Flow Control : No
G - Software Flow Control : No
