This feature is used by the base-api team. In the actual implementation data written to serial port can only be send in stdout or in a file. |

Either a UNIX socket or a named pipe could be used here (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1_GdTPlEw4aVCmBlrXdYbhrsmSOp0S_BsL5eAE9hSy1E/edit#slide=id.gcaea852e79_0_1929 and https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1_GdTPlEw4aVCmBlrXdYbhrsmSOp0S_BsL5eAE9hSy1E/edit#slide=id.gcaea852e79_0_1924). If you pass a UNIX domain socket as the console path, then your receiving thread becomes a network server, a very well defined pattern. I strongly encourage you to go down that path instead of the one you're proposing here. |

So we're overwriting the console setting with a mpsc based Writer? If I give a console path and a mpsc Sender, self serial will be set to the mpsc sender, afaiu.

13 and 10 are non escaped line return and carriage return in unicode. We don't want them because it count like a character

We don't want to send new line (10) and carriage return (13) to the receiver. Signed-off-by: Maxime <[email protected]>

Hi,
Actually, we can't retrieve data that is send to serial port because they can only be send to stdout or in a file.
Writers implement the Write trait from std::io and send data to another thread through channel.
With writers we can run VM on one thread and retrieve data that is send to serial port on another thread to process it
