# Each ARM Hardware Model tends to be configurable and manageable # via the serial interface, typically via a USB to Serial adapter. # If anybody thinks this is a security hole, don't plug in a serial cable. # # # # In Slackware by default does not open a console on the serial port. # On the ARM and AArch64 platforms, it's standard practice and users # are encounraged to do so.
