Status
The current release is 0.5, unfortunately it is only marginally
usable. However it is evolving quickly.
Known Problems
- Configuration using Lua is incomplete.
- You can only invoke a single script named default.lua
from the curent directory.
- Interpretation of vt100 escape codes (from the serial
target) is not correct.
- Resizing does not work correctly.
- Error reporting is haphazard at best.
Features
- Runs in a terminal window — allowing it to be used over
ssh connections.
- User local configuration file.
- Configurable scroll back buffer with key scrolling.
- Configurable local line edit mode, with command history.
- Release the serial console and invoke an external command such
as a debugger. This is useful when the only access to a device is
the serial line.
- Copy to X clipboard
if xclip is
installed.
- Scripting using the Lua language.
- Logging.
Requirements
You will need to be able to build the code. A configure script is
included.
You will need development versions (linkable libraries and headers
files) of the following libraries
- GNU Readline.
- Ncurses.
- Lua version 5 or later.
