U-Boot does not care for any special terminal emulation program; it supports download _protocols_, i. e. S-Record and kermit binary protocol.

Some terminal programs implement these protocols correctly and can be used with U-Boot, others have bugs or need non-trivial configurations, and are thus depracated.

Feel free to use minicom, but don't complain if you run into problems. Minicom is broken. You have been warned.
