====== Getting Started ======

Install minicom on your [[https://debian.org|Debian]]((why would you be running anything else?)), if you haven't already:
  sudo aptitude install minicom

Plug in a USB serial port from the Debian machine to the USB-C power/serial module on the SST-6809.

On the Debian machine, hunt down your USB device pathlist:
  ls /dev/tty*

Start minicom with the command line option "-D path" of your USB port device name:
  minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0

Configure minicom terminal timings for 1ms per character and 1ms line ending delays:
  [CTRL]+[A] [T]
  [D] [1] [ENTER]
  [F] [1] [ENTER]
  [ENTER]

Create a run-control file to start minicom with these terminal timings every start:
  [CTRL]+[A] [O]

Arrow key down and choose "Save setup as dfl" to create this run-control file:
<file - ~/.minirc.dfl>
# Machine-generated file - use setup menu in minicom to change parameters.
pu msg_ch_delay     1
pu msg_nl_delay     1
</file>

Exit the setup menu.

Press the RESET button on the SST-6809 and minicom should show:
  ASSIST09
