If you are doing work on something slightly more modern it sounds like you should be more than fine. CoolTerm is a simple serial port terminal application (no terminal emulation) that is geared towards hobbyists and professionals with a need to exchange data with hardware connected to serial ports such as servo controllers, robotic kits, GPS receivers, microcontrollers, etc. So, just in case anyone else has the same use case, be aware of these issues. I've sent 2 support requests to the author but have not heard anything back - not sure if the help form works or not. I should say that the actual terminal emulation over the serial to USB connection works great - it's just the send/receive file part. Unfortunately I paid for the app after testing just the smaller transfers which worked for me that time. ![]() Kermit eventually times out on the board end and the file is there but 0 bytes. However, there appears to be a bug in either the CP2102 driver or the bundled Kermit - whereas on my Windows laptop with Terraterm I can transfer files without problem, with Serial nothing but the smallest (1-2K) text files will transfer. These two combined is why I bought the app. The bundled Kermit, XModem and YModem etc for sending and receiving files is also great. As others have already commented, this makes this app unique and great for admins. …and many more things you thankfully never have to think aboutI'm leaving a comment rather than a starred review as I don't want to drop stars for what must be a very edge case: I use Serial to connect to single board computers running (very) old operating systems, such as CP/M-80 and CP/M-68K.įirst, let me say that I love the integration of the drivers so that I can connect to the boards without having to install anything extra.Long term continuity as our drivers are based on the newest IOUSBHost stack API's of macOS. Officially signed kexts, so it is not necessary to make your macOS insecure via boot-args.Reliable data transfer, and no garbage data, so programming Arduino's, AVRs, ESP8266 just works.Instead of making you looking for tweaks and workarounds, it simply does the right thing. ![]() The drivers are built on years of driver programming experience and customer feedback. We now offer well maintained drivers for the CP2102, CH341 and PL2303 chips. ![]() Started in 2006 as an open source project to enable Atmel AVR programming for OS X, helping thousands of users. We take care of all the tricky macOS and USB Serial chips for you
