Android application that binds a USB serial converter to a Telnet client
Just connect a USB serial adapter into USB OTG port of your Android device, start this app and connect to it using any Telnet client like
- JuiceSSH using the same Android device (connect to the localhost)
- Termux and standard Linux telnet client (also, connect to the localhost)
- Telnet client on a computer on the same network (connect over Wi-Fi)
This method allows to use all console features like colors and special keys. So you can easily control/install something like network devices with serial port using only your Android device. Also, you can use it as remote console transmitter.
This app uses usb-serial-for-android library by mik3y and supports USB to serial converter chips:
- FTDI FT232R, FT232H, FT2232H, FT4232H, FT230X, FT231X, FT234XD
- Prolific PL2303
- Silabs CP2102 and all other CP210x
- Qinheng CH340, CH341A
Some other device specific drivers:
- GsmModem devices, e.g. for Unisoc based Fibocom GSM modems
- Chrome OS CCD (Closed Case Debugging)
And devices implementing the generic CDC/ACM protocol like:
- Qinheng CH9102
- Microchip MCP2221
- Arduino using ATmega32U4
- Digispark using V-USB software USB
- ...
