Send/receive file through serial using minicom
i have connected with my board through serial interface using minicom and i am running a bash script, which should test ethernet (ping test), USB read/write, RS232 ..
I have managed to test ethernet and USB read/write.
I test ethernet with ping.
I test USB read/write, using dd and verifying the checksum with md5.
But i am stuck with testing RS232. Could you provide me ideas as to how i can do that using minicom session. I want to test that the serial interface is working properly.
Thanks,
srik

One idea i have is to send a file using sz to the host and then check for the files authenticity. but then it wasnot possible without human intervention (since i had to press ok after receving the file in minicom using xmodem protocol)
