===== Connect =====

How to connect to your brand new Lima? There are a couple of ways to do this and we do recommend:
  * Via serial: **picocom** for Linux and OSX, **putty** for Windows.
  * Ethernet: **ssh** for Linux and OSX, **putty** for Windows.

Serial connectivity is already integrated on your Lima via mini USB. If you are powering it using a USB to mini USB cable then there is nothing else required for you to plug in to use a serial terminal.

----

=== Putty (Windows) ===

Simply run the program, enter a COM port number, select the baudrate 115200 and click "connect".

----

=== Picocom (Linux, OSX) ===

Just run picocom with **115200** bps and a serial interface parameter. Your serial device might be named **/dev/ttyUSB[n]** where **[n]** is your serial id set by your operating system.

  picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

You can check your available serial devices with this command:

  ls /dev/ttyUSB*

To exit from picocom press **CTRL+a+x**.
