Mac OSX Yosemite no serial ports showing for Uno R3. Ask Question Asked 4 years, 7 months ago. Tried installing updated Silabs drivers: Arduino compatible's serial port not showing Mac OSX. It worked for Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. Aug 09, 2015 Setting up a Serial Console in Mac OS X. One of two things is generally meant by this, either using a Mac as the interface to a serial device (accomplished by running a terminal emulator program on the Mac), or using another machine to connect to the Mac over serial and accessing the shell provided by the Mac.
Requirements
You have assembled your Arduino* expansion board or your mini breakout expansion board, installed the appropriate drivers, and flashed the OS image (formerly called firmware).
Steps to Set Up a Serial Terminal
- Launch Spotlight by pressing Cmd + Space.
- Type
terminal
. - Select the Terminal app.
- In the Terminal window, enter the command:
ls /dev/cu.usbserial-*
- In the list of connected devices, look for a device that contains cu.usbserial. In the example above, the device name is /dev/cu.usbserial-A402YSYU.
Note: If your device is not in the list, verify that your board is powered on and connected to your system. Select the appropriate link below: - Assembling the Intel® Edison board with the Intel® Edison mini breakout board
- Assembling the Intel® Edison board with the Intel® Edison mini breakout board
- Connect to the USB serial device using the Terminal screen utility by entering the command:
screen /dev/xx.usbserial-XXXXXXXX 115200 –L
where/dev/xx.usbserial-XXXXXXXX
is replaced by your device unique name. Using the example above, the command would be:screen -L /dev/cu.usbserial-A402YSYU 115200 –L
Note: Adding –L to the command, as shown above, turns on output logging so you can see the results of your commands. To end a session in Screen type Ctrl + A and then Ctrl + K to kill the session. You will be prompted to end the session. - At the blank screen, press Enter twice. A login screen is displayed.
- At the login prompt, type
root
and press Enter. - Press Enter when prompted for a password. The following screen is displayed:
You have now established a serial communication with your board. You can interact with your board by entering common Linux commands. For a summary of useful commands, see Common commands for the Intel® Edison board.

This is a list of notable terminal emulators. Most used terminal emulators on Linux and Unix-like systems are GNOME Terminal on GNOME and GTK-based environments, Konsole on KDE, and xfce4-terminal on Xfce as well as xterm.

Character-oriented terminal emulators[edit]
Unix-like[edit]
Command-line interface[edit]
- Linux console – implements a large subset of the VT102 and ECMA-48/ISO 6429/ANSI X3.64 escape sequences.
The following terminal emulators run inside of other terminals, utilizing libraries such as Curses and Termcap:
- GNU Screen – Terminal multiplexer with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
- Minicom – text-based modem control and terminal emulation program for Unix-like operating systems
- tmux – Terminal multiplexer with a feature set similar to GNU Screen
Graphical[edit]
X/Wayland[edit]
Terminal emulators used in combination with X Window System and Wayland
- xterm – standard terminal for X11
- GNOME Terminal – default terminal for GNOME with native Wayland support
- guake – drop-down terminal for GNOME
- konsole – default terminal for KDE
- xfce4-terminal – default terminal for Xfce with drop-down support
- mrxvt – rxvt clone with additional features (latest version is 2008-09-10)
- Terminology – enhanced terminal supportive of multimedia and text manipulation for X11 and Linux framebuffer
- Tilda – A drop down terminal
- Yakuake – (Yet Another Kuake), a dropdown terminal for KDE
Apple macOS[edit]
Terminal emulators used on macOS
- Terminal – default macOS terminal
- iTerm2 – open-source terminal specifically for macOS
- xterm – default terminal when X11.app starts
- SyncTERM – includes serial line terminal
- ZTerm – serial line terminal
Apple Classic Mac OS[edit]
Microsoft Windows[edit]
- ConEmu – local terminal window that can host console application developed either for WinAPI (cmd, powershell, far) or Unix PTY (cygwin, msys, wsl bash)
- HyperACCESS (commercial) and HyperTerminal (included free with Windows XP and earlier, but not included with Windows Vista and later)
- mintty – Cygwin terminal
- Windows Console – Windows command line terminal
Microsoft MS-DOS[edit]
- Qmodem and Qmodem Pro
IBM OS/2[edit]
- ZOC – discontinued support for OS/2
Commodore Amiga[edit]
Commodore 64[edit]
Block-oriented terminal emulators[edit]
Emulators for block-oriented terminals, primarily IBM 3270, but also IBM 5250 and other non-IBM terminals.
Coax/Twinax connected[edit]
These terminal emulators are used to replace terminals attached to a host or terminal controller via a coaxial cable (coax) or twinaxial cabling (twinax). They require that the computer on which they run have a hardware adapter to support such an attachment.
- RUMBA 3270 and 5250
tn3270/tn5250[edit]
These terminal emulators connect to a host using the tn3270 or tn5250 protocols, which run over a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection.
- x3270 – IBM 3270 emulator for X11 and most Unix-like systems[1]
- c3270 – IBM 3270 emulator for running inside a vt100/curses emulator for most Unix-like systems[1]
