Help¶

Enable this option to use the USB UART for console output. The output can be viewed from the USB host via /dev/ttyACM* port. Note that console inputs from the USB UART are not functional yet. Also since the USB layer currently doesn’t support multiple interfaces, this shouldn’t be selected in conjunction with, say, USB Mass Storage.

Direct dependencies¶

SERIAL && CONSOLE

(Includes any dependencies from if’s and menus.)

Defaults¶

No defaults. Implicitly defaults to n.
