Linux includes drivers for most (I'm tempted to say "all", because I've
never found an exception, but that'd be begging for trouble) devices
which conform to the USB CDC (the USB sub-spec for com port-like
devices)
Plugging in a such a device usually results in a new device file
showing up on the machine. Typical filenames are /dev/ttyUSB0 or
/dev/ttyUSB1 or the like.
To find out for sure whether your Linux box is noticing the PIC32 board
and setting things up properly, do a tail -f on /var/log/messages, and
then plug the device in. You should see a flurry of messages indicating
that Linux has seen the new device, and (hopefully) what device file
it's accessible as.
Given that all of the above works, just tell minicom to use /dev/
ttyUSB0 (substitute appropriate terminal program and device file, of
course) as its communications port.
