Therefore, the graphical console is enabled on this +machine by default and the user is required to interact with the +machine using a display device plugged into a dGPU connected via the +PCIe slot. + +In case the user does not have a dGPU, and wants to interact with the +machine over the RS232 serial interface, the user needs to have an +`LPC to UART Adapter` module plugged into the LPC header on the +motherboard. + +Using a serial cable connected between the host machine's RS232 port +and this module, the user will be able to interact with the machine +using the serial interface, but will still not be able to install the +OS to a harddrive using the serial interface. For that, the graphical +console has to be disabled. In order to achieve that, add the +following to the `local.conf` and rebuild an image. + +```sh +MACHINE_FEATURES_remove = "screen-console" +``` + +The resulting image will have no graphical console support and will +only have the serial console support. After this, the user will also +be able to install the OS to a harddrive using the serial interface. + --- #### What's next |
