config BR2_PACKAGE_PICOCOM tristate "picocom - minimal dumb-terminal emulation program" default m if CONFIG_DEVEL help As its name suggests, picocom is a minimal dumb-terminal emulation program. It is, in principle, very much like minicom, only it's pico instead of mini! It was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem configuration, testing, and debugging tool. It has also served (quite well) as a low-tech "terminal-window" to allow operator intervention in PPP connection scripts. It could also prove useful in many other similar tasks. http://efault.net/npat/hacks/picocom/
