sudo apt-get install ckermit

Config Kermit : 

vi $HOME/.kermrc;

Input the following content : 

set line /dev/ttyUSB0
set speed 115200
set carrier-watch off
set handshake none
set flow-control none
robust
set file type bin
set file name lit
set rec  pack 1000
set send pack 1000
set window 5

Note : 

Change "/dev/ttyUSB0" according your system, Use Command "ls /dev/ttyUSB*" .

Run kermit

sudo kermit

MiniCom

Install MiniCom: 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install minicom

Run kermit

$ sudo minicom
