Back to the Future: Using a DEC VT220 from 1983
===============================================

I bought an actual serial terminal. It is many years older than I am, and can display 24 lines by 80 (or 132) colums of text.

My workflow is quite terminal centric: Work for Uni is done with vim over ssh, emails are read with mutt, and ncmpcpp provides the front end to my music. If it weren’t for the Internet, I’d ditch the display server without batting an eye.

Hi, Hackaday! 😀

Want your Pi Zero to emulate a keyboard, ethernet adapter, serial device, mass storage, and many more at the same time? This tutorial is for you!

The Pi Zero is all the rage – and I too am working on a Zero-based project.
[LadyAda] and [gbaman] both have written tutorials on the old series of drivers, g_{hid,ether,serial,*}. Those are not flexible at all, only allow for one loaded at each time and in case of the hid-gadget even require you to modify and recompile the kernel module.

LibComposite solves those problems by putting the configuration into userland (ConfigFS).
