This time there may be an error, likely  “/dev/modem: No to the file or directory.”
The solution: minicom -s

Select Serial port setup:

A – changed to /dev/tty.usbseria, and press ENTER,
Then save setup as dfl.

Enter the minicom and  it is possible that it will show that Device/dev/ttys0 is locked. (the file generated when minicom is closed unexpectedly).
The solution: rm/TMP/LCK..ttys0 (it ma ynot be ttys0 file, but it should start with LCK).[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Configure minicom” tab_id=”1395284416437-3-7″][vc_column_text]Type minicom at terminal:
