2. HOST PC setup.
You will open USB Module Devices on your HOST PC.
Ubuntu
Install Serial comunication utility.

sudo apt-get install minicom

After check your usb serial node, Open serial port.

ls /dev/ttyUSB*
sudo minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyUSB0

3. Target board(ODROID-U3) setup.
Set a serial node on your ODROID-U3

stty -F /dev/ttySAC0 115200

4. ODROID-U3 → HOST PC test.
ODROID-U3

echo 1 > /dev/ttySAC0

5. HOST PC → ODROID-U3 test.
ODROID-U3

cat /dev/ttySAC0

HOST PC
Send characters via minicom.
