Add information about outgoing serial console (#673)
Hey, after I searched a lot in the docs and then in the discord with multiple people asking about this and getting the information about searching, because it got asked before, I think adding this would be helpful. Also because it is mentioned that the PiKVM can do this: "CISCO-style and USB serial console port (to manage PiKVM OS or to connect the server)". So, I hope this is would be a good information added to the FAQ or any other part of the docs. Thanks for the support on the discord, where I found this information. (In #670 it was mentioned I should put this here instead of the community FAQ.)

Now re-edit your `/etc/kvmd/override.yaml` file and just use tab to get the right spacing, you might need to delete the current leading "spaces" to ensure proper formatting.

??? question "How can I use the serial console to access to access other devices"
|
||||||
|
you need to stop the service which listens on the ttyAMA0:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
rw
|
||||||
|
systemctl stop serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want this change permanent (not starting again after reboot), you can disable this service, ('enable' to reverse this decision):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
systemctl disable serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Important:
|
||||||
|
* Only USB OR the RJ-45 serial connector will work, you can't use them together!
|
||||||
|
* If you disable the service permanently, you can't recover your device via serial console if you need this.
|
||||||
|
* There are some reports, that you need to remove "ttyAMA0" from /boot/cmdline.txt, but this is not needed on new installations.
