On consumer smartphone devices Microsoft's stopped making operating systems that used a CE kernel with Windows Mobile 6. Windows Phone 8 represents a break from earlier Mobility operating systems and it is not backward compatible with its earlier CE based software. Turbosoft does not produce a terminal emulator for any Windows Phone operating system at this point in time.
Smart phone usage aside, these operating systems remain in use on hand-held devices including those employing bar-code scanners and RFID which find usage in a variety of commercial applications where terminal emulation is required. Download Trial Software. To complicate matters in Microsoft released an operating system variant titled Windows Embedded Handheld based on the CE 5 kernel and compatible with Windows Mobile 6.
Windows CE is an operating system designed for use in embedded systems, small footprint devices such as Point of Sales PoS devices, Kiosks, industrial equipment and controls, thin clients and so on. In many ways Windows CE visually resembles earlier incarnations of Microsoft's full desktop operating system, such as Windows It is, however, wholly distinct and incompatible with it's desktop brethren.
You cannot take an executable written for a Microsoft Desktop operating system and run in on a Windows CE device. When partnering with manufacturers Microsoft offered a "platform builder" with both its Mobility range of operating systems as well as Windows CE. The platform builder was designed to tailor an operating system to the manufacturers' needs using the Mobility or Windows CE elements as a base. TTWinCE is available in a variety of install packages to suit the operating systems and architectures mentioned above.
Babu is a shell that is built on Cygwin — Unix-style environment on Windows. The pre-configured Cygwin on Babun comes with many add-ons and needs only little to no setup. Moreover, it has a plugin-oriented architecture. Download Babun. It is one of the oldest terminal emulators that are still actively developed and updated.
Although initially developed for Windows OS, it is now ported to many operating systems. It does not support session tabs; several wrappers provide that function.
The application is solely programmed from Windows operating system. However, users can access Linux, and Unix machines. Xshell is a terminal emulator that mirrors the presence of virtual console. The software enables the computer to work as a terminal and make it easy for programmes to access data in a mainframe. Although it is designed for Windows, interacting with Linux servers is very easy.
The software provides multiple drop-down tabs and therefore is a modular emulator. The user-friendly interface allows developers to manage various tasks efficiently. XShell is often known for its security and transparency as it leverages the MIT Kerberos authentication system. As such, users should not worry about data loss.
Moreover, the program has an automatic update feature that downloads and installs it when new updates are available. Xshell is an ideal choice of a terminal emulator for both beginners and experts.
Download XShell. ConsoleZ is an enhancement for Windows console that is not a shell akin to the above alternative terminal emulators. As such, it does not execute many of the shell features such as syntax coding and command history. In simple terms, ConsoleZ is a better-looking front-end for the command. Moreover, there is no need to install as it will work along with the Windows command line.
Users can view multiple consoles side by side by splitting the console horizontally or vertically. While the inbuilt Windows console does not come with customization options, ConsolseZ acts as a perfect terminal emulator by making it more accessible and productive. Using ConsoleZ, programmers can modify the look by adding themes, tabs and many other visual tweaks to make the dull looking Windows Command Prompt more vibrant.
Download ConsoleZ. Console2 is one of the best terminal emulators and famous command prompt alternative for Windows. The program requires installations and is filled with lots of features that the original Windows command prompt lacks. Another additional feature is the Windows Powershell integrations, whereby users are not required to open a new window for Powershell exigencies.
The program offers a lot of configuration options, suiting needs of every programmer. It is a modern multi-protocol, multi-host terminal emulation runs on almost all versions of the Windows operating system. The program uses a modern tabbed interface and provides access to multiple terminal-based applications simultaneously. The software has everything that a programmer needs to interact with hosts over SSL protocols. Its developers claim that the software significantly increases productivity by offering them a better emulation experience.
Hyper is another alternative terminal emulation that can be run on almost all versions of operating systems. Using Hyper, programmers can connect to multiple systems using SSH and dial-up modem. This seems to be more than just an emulator as it has a built-in editor and scroll-bars. Unless you are using X Window with a large display, a real terminal is often nicer to use than emulating one. It usually has better resolution for text, and has no disk drives to make annoying noises.
For the VT series terminals there is a test program: vttest to help determine if a terminal behaves correctly like a vt53, vt, vt, vt, vt, vt etc.
There is no documentation but it has menus and is easy to use. To compile it run the configure script and then type "make". The console for a PC Linux system is normally the computer monitor in text mode. There is no way unless you want to spend weeks rewriting the kernel code to get it to emulate anything else. Setting the TERM environment variable to any type of terminal other than "Linux" will not result in emulating that other terminal.
It will only result in a corrupted interface since you have falsely declared via the TERM variable that your "terminal" is of a type different from what it actually is. In some cases, the console for a Linux PC is a text-terminal. One may recompile Linux to make a terminal receive most of the messages which normally go to the console. See Make a Serial Terminal the Console. The "Linux" emulation of the monitor is flexible and has features which go well beyond those of the vt terminal which it was intended to emulate.
These include the ability to use custom fonts and easily re-map the keyboard. These extra features reside in the console driver software including the keyboard driver.
The console driver only works for the monitor and will not work for a real terminal even if it's being used for the console. Thus the "console driver" is really a "monitor driver". In the early days of Linux one couldn't use a real terminal as the console so "monitor" and "console" were once always the same thing. The stty commands work for the monitor-console just like it was a real terminal.
They are handled by the same terminal driver that is used for real terminals. Bytes headed for the screen first go thru the terminal tty driver and then thru the console driver. For the monitor some of the stty commands don't do anything such as setting the baud rate. You may set the monitor baud rate to any allowed value such as a slow speed but the actual speed of putting text on the monitor screen will not actually change.
This is explained a little in the init man page. Many commands exist to utilize the added features provided by the console-monitor driver.
Real terminals, which use neither scan codes nor VGA cards, unfortunately can't use these features. Also see the various man pages about the console type "man -k console".
Unfortunately, much of this documentation is outdated. Emulators often don't work quite right so before purchasing software you should try to throughly check out what you will get. Unless you want to emulate the standard vt or close to it or a Wyse 60, there doesn't seem to be much free terminal emulation software available for Linux.
The free programs minicom, picocom, and seyon only for X Window can emulate a vt or close to it. Seyon can also emulate a Tektronix terminal. See Wyse 60 emulator. Minicom or picocom may be used to emulate a directly connected terminal by simply starting one of them. For minicom, you must configure it for the serial port used. Picocom is a mini-minicom, doesn't have automatic dialout capability.
Skip this paragraph if you use picocom.
