Bug Report : https://github.com/beagleterm/beagle-term/issues
Beagle Term is an open-source serial terminal emulator written entirely in JavaScript. You can explore your serial device via RS232 interface. It's a plugin free and based on chromium-hterm project, http://goo.gl/6e9UE.
Thanks to Tyler Hughes(https://github.com/RandomlyKnighted),
Now BeagleTerm support neat UI, and more options for RS232.

- (2025-05-12) Daniel Meier: Works perfectly to connect to a NetApp storage system with the USB cable delivered. The device ttyACM0 is visible by Beagle term but not in crostini as no USB device shows up to be shared with Linux. What solution will we have when Chromeos apps will be unsupported ?
- (2022-08-11) Felipe E B: For some reason can not copy paste, can not add "" quotation, and other problems, this is a recent problem.
- (2022-02-28) Fu Manchu: i love this. it is the best on the chrome ecosystem. everythig else sucks
- (2021-07-03) John Heritage: Works perfectly for connecting my Chromebook to a pfsense router!
- (2021-05-09) Spear Technical Services: Worse than useless -- a waste of time. Yet another app that promises USB-to-serial terminal emulation for ChromeOS but can't deliver. Although my Chromebook alleges that "Linux apps have permission to use USB-serial adapter D," which presupposes that Chrome can see it and communicate with it also, this app sees no adapter and offers no port. My anger is probably better directed at ChromeOS, the one OS on the planet that can't handle a simple console session. (Even Windows can do that.)
- (2020-04-10) Kyle Myers: I have completely stopped using PuTTY on my windows machine. On windows, I needed to find some USB to Serial driver inorder to get USB Console cables working, and frankly half the time they work and half the time they don't. I've tried about 10 different console cables/adapters to get them working, and it's AWFUL. This app? Easiest thing ever. Plug in the USB console cable... Start Beagleterm... Boom. It just works. Never consoling on Windows again.
- (2020-01-09) Joseph DL: Works perfectly on my pixelbook go ChromeOS M79! Thank you!
- (2019-07-30) Dave Tickem: Using this with an asus c434 chromebook and a prolific pl2303 usb to rs232 serial adapter. Works a treat, no problems so far! If you need RS232 console access to devices, this seems to just WORK :-) Having a copy-out function is handy for reports. Terminal emulation works even better than the google secure shell app - as you can scroll back whilst output is still running without losing history. Haven't worked out how to paste into it yet though.
- (2019-07-03) Rene Solis: ChromeBook HP 11-XXX model, I install Linux and was unable to open a simple terminal serial cable to a CISCO switch, I read in REDDIT about this Extension, and since now I'm a happy DevOPS again ! 5 starts to the developer
- (2019-02-24) Peter Larsen: So many apps tried, and it was this easy. Nice and simple serial access, basic terminal works wonders to diagnose hardware setup.
- (2018-12-22) xfnw: It is great for accessing a serial console on a chromebook, however it would be even better if you could customize it's font and font color
- (2018-10-19) Kurt Cantin: Use is for working on anything through serial connection. I work on EMC hardware (VNX/VMAX...) and related hardware (Cisco UCS...) and this turned my Chromebook into serial tech tool in a pinch. Very well done, no need to add USB to serial devices.. just worked and so easy to use! Great work!
- (2018-06-11) Karan Bhatia: works great!
- (2018-03-02) Josh Seluta: The perfect hyperterminal for ChromeOS. Also it runs in Chrome browser on Windows.
- (2018-02-06) Works great on my chrome book. 5 star if you could change font size and colors. I personally love a black background with green letters at between 16 & 20 font. One thing to note: If I have my wireless usb connected along with my usb to db9 it will not work as it want's to choose the wireless usb device that is connected. If I could select between usb0 and usb1 then it might hlep.
- (2018-02-03) Mace Moneta: This is great! Lets me use my Chromebook to connect to a Ubiquiti Edgerouter ERLITE-3 via serial console. It even found the right port on the Chromebook automatically. Nice.
- (2018-01-13) Diego Sueiro: Worked like a charm.
- (2017-12-03) Hooray!
- (2017-11-25) John Zouck: Works smoothly for me. Used with Arduino, microbit. Would love to be able to record serial data.
- (2017-10-10) Mark Kinson: Does not work. When you open a connection with a USB serial device, the whole thing freezes. The app even tells you, but directs you to a year old github thread...
- (2017-10-03) Frankie Fury: Only suggestion made to the developer(s) is for a function to capture text to a output file. But that is not a slate on Beagle Term. Best app of its kind for Chromebook!
- (2017-09-22) Bartosz Debski: Great app, makes Chromebook a valid IT tool.
- (2017-08-07) Jose Antonio Sanchez: It worked with a USB-RS232 adapter!!... Have to play with it for some time before a more thorough eval of it... So far so good...
- (2017-07-26) Clayton Mason: Excellent simple terminal program. I tested it in a loopback mode with a PC using two Plugable [sic] USB to Serial Converters (Amazon.com / Prolific chipset) and an Amazon Basics USB hub. It also worked with a Toshiba Chromebook in the same hardware configuration. The Chromebook was even simpler than the PC, because it doesn't have to load drivers. It also worked with my Samsung Chromebook Pro connected to a BBC micro:bit with a USB cable.
- (2017-06-29) Henry Pan (番薯猴): Amazing! But I really need right-click to paste. Not only ctrl+shift+v. How?
- (2017-05-16) Dirk K: It works with my Arduino Uno. It automatically detected the device. I just needed to set the baud = 9600. The other defaults were fine. Only suggestion is to include a Connect/Disconnect feature. As it is, I just need to close the app and re-open as needed. Thanks for making this app.
- (2017-04-06) Awesome chrome extension. Another reason I'm digging my Chromebook.
- (2017-02-06) Lins Turnbow: I just installed it on my Chromebook, plugged in my USB to RJ45 console cable to my Cisco 3550 switch, adjusted the speed to 9600, and ran it. It works fine to console into the switch, no problems.
- (2016-11-17) Joe Avery (HakAtIt): Broke a few updates ago for me. Checked and I'm on Beta Ver 55 and still locks on connect. Unplugging Serial port unlocks everything. Not sure what changed. Unfortunately, I've been in need of it working for the last couple months and it hasn't. Hopefully this gets worked out soon. Reading github and it looks like fix will come next update.
- (2016-10-12) Tyrell Warren: It's been great however I have noticed that with the most recent update, my Chromebook Pixel crashes when hitting the 'Connect' key. No responsiveness and I must restart my computer.
- (2016-09-19) Adam Dipple: Not sure when you updated it to bring more serial options but thank you. I use this app almost every day on my chromebook.
- (2016-06-12) Clifford Slocombe: It just works out of the box on Samsung ARM Chromebook. However other then selecting a port, baud rate and terminal size (by resizing the window), there is little flexibility (currently). I wanted to connect it to a BBC Micro:Bit (which uses mbed under the hood), but its serial library uses CR+LF for line ends and this cannot be configured.
- (2016-03-17) Joe: needs a menu option to disconnect from serial and start a new connection without closing program. Other than that, it great!
- (2015-12-31) Carson Thompson: Great app, however I am unable to paste anything into my sessions. This would be really useful for when I need to copy configs from a notepad. Chromebook user.
- (2015-11-21) Roy Cloud: This is great. I can now use my chromebook to connected to switches and routers.
- (2015-11-20) Matt Zelchenko: Makes a Chromebook a superior net admin resource.
- (2015-11-16) guy colin: Works out of the box with Chromebook Pixel, USB-to-Seial and Raspberry Pi. Even colors are supported. Very good
- (2015-09-29) I called it one-more-reason-to-drop-full-size-laptops.
- (2015-06-19) Paul Austin: Simple and works well on my mac connected to an armstrap MCU board. On Github with BSD license. Thanks!
- (2015-05-13) Geoff Franks: Excellent basic term! Keep those features coming!
- (2015-03-06) Randy Brown: really nice app. Works simply. Would be nice to be able to capture the session to a text file as others users have said.
- (2015-03-01) Larry Brown: Great app - does well when I'm connected to Cisco Switches. I would like to see the ability to save my session history.
- (2015-02-25) Michael Burton: It lacks some features like remembering which serial device it was last connected to or automatically reconnecting when your USB serial device reboots. Other to that it looks and works great.
- (2015-01-23) Larry Hawkes: Great app for the chromebook, i'm using beagle version 1.5 . I just figured out how to paste, It's ctrl-shift-v. Now I really really love this app. :) Highlighting and copy seems to work fine from beagle.
- (2014-12-11) Martin van der Lee: It does just what I needed. A terminal via usb on my chromebook.
- (2014-11-23) Terry Leach: It is so great to use my Chromebook to connect to a serial device. Good show!
- (2014-10-03) Benson Sung: simple tool for log shown
- (2014-07-04) Jason Parr: Works great for connecting to my cisco switches.
- (2014-05-23) Maksim Lin: excellant app to provide access to serial port and opensource! essential for embedded dev with Chromebooks
- (2014-05-08) Tommy: Works wonderfully. Thank you...Thank you...Thank you :)
