Embedded hackers of the world unite? Everytime u-boot barfed on me or I messed up the serial port I ended up having to scan through screenfulls of ASCII junk scrolling by at full speed to get my commands and results out. The closest I ever got to -real- blonde/brunette effects was when I was debugging the output from a H264 streamer. I could figure out video resolution and slicing properties from the tcpdump trace scrolling by :)
