F - Hardware Flow Control : Yes

G - Software Flow Control : No

Change which setting?

Enter A to edit the Serial Device. Then enter the port you need to access.

As shown above the ports of interest will be :

0000:03:00.0: ttyS0 at MMIO 0xcdeffc00 (irq = 169) is a 16550A

0000:03:00.0: ttyS2 at MMIO 0xcdeffe00 (irq = 169) is a 16550A

In this case, you want to access the first port “ttyS0”.

A - Serial Device

: /dev/ttyS0

B - Lockfile Location

: /var/lock

C - Callin Program
