Stellaris armpit
Posted at 2014-01-16.
Armpit seems to be a scheme interpreter for ARM microcontrollers.
I saw it somewhere and knew I had to try it out. It's a pretty considerable chunk of ARM asm, but it built right out and ran. Only the last version has somehow been made to use cr terminators and some strange backspace. (Smells like old apples, but nothing else here looks like it.)
Anyway.. I also came across picocom which seems to be a not too bad way
to talk to serial ports interactively.
Somewhere behind the cleanness of cu and the horror that is minicom.
Funny thing is, it has these input and output mappings for obscure
control character or two.
It also has bitrate cycling (and messages talking about bauds).
% picocom /dev/ttyACM0 --imap crcrlf --omap delbs -b 115200

Neat!
