UART Console
Accessing an target UART console
Setup
No additional setup is required for setting up the UART console on the target.
On your host machine, you need to have a console cable, as well as a console client.
The console cable must be 3.3 volts, not 5 volts. a 5 volt cable will harm your
Raspberry Pi. Here are some known working cables:

- https://www.amazon.com/DSD-TECH-Adapter-FT232RL-Compatible/dp/B07BBPX8B8
- https://www.amazon.com/JANSANE-PL2303TA-Serial-Console-Raspberry/dp/B07D9R5JFK
The most common client is probably screen on *Nix based systems or putty on windows.
See your distribution's package manager for installation and usage instructions.
Connecting
Connecting to a console is dependent on your particular client. Here is an example
screen command:
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
Disconnecting
Disconnecting is also dependent on your particular client. To exit screen,
issue a ctrl+\+y sequence to escape the console.
