Writing to a COM port using terminal (supposing that we use port ```ttyS0```/COM1):
{{{#!sh
cat /dev/ttyS0
}}}

Reading from a COM port using terminal (supposing that we use port ```ttyS0```/COM1):
{{{#!sh
echo "message" > /dev/ttyS0
}}}

**Note:** on Linux, ```ttyS0``` corresponds to ```COM1```, ```ttyS1``` to ```COM2```, etc. (0-based counting).
