Connecting from Ubuntu to Mikrotik RB2011 (and probably others)  [SOLVED]

Sun Jan 15, 2023 11:51 pm

I have used both minicom and picocom and picocom seems much nicer to me to some degree.
To connect the RB2011 console I have used a Prolific 2303TA cable which is not compatible with Windows 11 so I have installed Ubuntu 22.04 on a VM in Virtualbox and then connected the USB to the VM.
The VM got the device driver on boot and the only command I needed to connect the RB2011 was:
picocom  -b 115200 -f soft,xon/xoff -d 8 /dev/ttyUSB0 
After I installed both picocom and minicom...

I hope it will help anyone that has or had an issue with a serial console connection from linux
