This repo contains a few iterations of a serial terminal app made by myself as long as a library for easy COM port communications.

About v4: I'm not creating a release until I'm sure it does not contain any critical issues.

Terminals

Building process

Is as simple as runnig make. It requires:

• GCC 9+ (maybe lower, idk, get it from MSYS2)
• Windows specific stuff (should come along with GCC build)
• windres (check if you have it included in binutils, should come along with GCC too)
• make tool. It is included in binutils, but is named like make-some-build-info-nobody-cares-about.exe. Just rename it to make.exe

GUI Terminal

Features in V4:

• Port list auto update
• Support for input/output in HEX format
• Escaped special characters support
• User settings are now being saved
• Different line endings (CRLF/CR/LF/None)
• Timestamps
• Command echoing now can be disabled

CLI Terminal

Looks like this:

---

---

Pretty simple tool, has a help command, so as long as you are familiar with diskpart - you won't get lost.

Build dependencies

• Windows 7+
• WinAPI headers and compiler support
• JSON for Modern C++

Run dependencies

• Windows 7+
• Universal C Runtime (URCT)

Lib serial-api

Allows you to do really cool stuff with com port. Is a part of v4 Serial Terminal. Actually this lib is the reason to create v4

Building:

1. Enter cd lib
2. Run make libshared to get a dll
3. Run make libstatic to get a static .a library
4. Link to your project
5. ???
6. PROFIT!
