So the trick is to configure minicom. Use the menus to set the serial port and baud rate etc.

on unix configure the minicom using command :
1. minicom -s, in the configuration select save setup as dfl
2. Set serial port baud rate e.g. 115200,8N1 , and serial device as /dev/ttyS0
3. Save the configuration and run the minicom .
4. If error comes then you can set hardware flow control to no.
