I've untarred the hardhat distr. on my linux machine and that's the machine that plays nfs server for the challenge. Should the default kernel support serial terminal consoles?? My goal is to install linux onto the challenge (which is headless) using a serial terminal connected to it, is this possible by default or should i cross-compile my own kernel on another platform?.
