Serial console logger

prototype · Capturing embedded-system output without turning a laptop into permanent lab equipment.

A small device listens to a serial console, timestamps each line and writes rotating log files to local storage.

The logger should tolerate sudden power loss, make no assumptions about the target device and expose its files through an ordinary removable volume.

The next step is testing how it behaves with malformed output and long silent periods.
