NOTE
Connections will need to be configured through the "Devices" tab (upper left hand corner), selecting USB, and then selecting your desired ports. USB connections can then be identified by opening Terminal application (bottom of left-hand tool bar), and entering "dmesg | grep tty". The serial terminal application, minicom can then be launched from virtual machine and target device connections can be established. See "Getting Started with Minicom" below for further usage information.
