I do use HyperTerminal in Windows to send Data to my Micro-Controller.
So that I can't see such features in Ubuntu 14.04 and also how to configure COM Ports as well as list out the details of the COM Ports.
How to send the data using with Parity\without Parity?
How to select baud rate ?
Please do refer any manuals regarding to that !
HyperTerminal appears to be a Windows-Only program - HyperTerminal Website
In Ubuntu, there are many great built-in applications that replace the functionality of HyperTerminal, though, as well as great additional applications that are available for free in the Ubuntu repositories.
For instance, ssh and telnet are already immediately available for remote terminal login to devices over a network.
curl and wget are also installed by default and are great for running other types of network interactions, especially those involving http protocol.
minicom can easily be installed from the Ubuntu Repositories and is a fairly popular application for accessing/utilizing com ports.
In case you are unfamiliar or just not yet completely comfortable with using a linux terminal for all of this, you can refer to the Ubuntu Community Wiki page for Using The Terminal.
There are many Linux terminal emulators to choose from and install in case you don't like Ubuntu's default terminal emulator. Most (if not all) of those can be installed from Ubuntu's Software Center. I personally favor terminator.
It might be an adjustment to launch and run all of these applications from CLI instead of a GUI, but you will most likely grow to prefer this method over the GUI of HyperTerminal over time, that is if you don't immediately fall in love with using CLI for all of it.
Update: You need to add yourself to the 'dialout' group to access the serial ports:
sudo gpasswd --add <your-username> dialout
Thanks to @Pilot6 for mentioning this. Until now I was using sudo for using the serial ports.
In Linux every device is is represented as files. For example, your HDD could be /dev/sda. A pendrive you connect will appear as /dev/sdx where x could be a,b,c...
Also in Linux, we don't use the term COM. If you connect a serial device, it will again appear as a file in /dev folder. It could be something like /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0 if it is a serial device. So if you want to communicate with the device, you can use the HyperTerminal Equivalent called picocom. There are other alternatives like minicom, but I use this picocom because it is very easy to use.
Install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install picocom
To run it, type
sudo picocom -b 19200 /dev/ttyUSB0
Here I have specified the baud rate as 115200 and the device as /dev/ttyUSB0. For baud rate, refer to the documentation of the device you are connecting. /dev/ttyUSB0 is equivalent to the COM port name and will vary each time the device is connected and also depends on the number of serial devices connected(Just like in Windows, where it appears as COM1 on one connection and say COM2 when you reconnect it).
To find it, connect your device and execute:
ls /dev/tty*
It should be listed as shown in the image:
Update: From the comments I understand that you only need to read the data. You can do this in linux without installing any software at all!
First connect the device and then identify the device(ls /dev/tty*. Also Make sure that your user is in the dialout group. Assuming the device is /dev/ttyUSB0, set the baud-rate like this:
sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 19200
where 19200 is the baud rate.
Now to read the output do the following:
tail --follow /dev/ttyUSB0
In fact, you can also send data from the terminal:
echo <data> > /dev/ttyUSB0
