About Another Term

# What it is

* USB & Bluetooth serial (UART) ports terminal.

* SSH and Telnet terminal.

* Local shell terminal emulator with libusb support and a command line tool to interact with the Android environment; enjoy any Linux distribution under PRoot right on your phone:

- compile;

- debug;

- flash and debug MCUs in case your programmer uses libusb (OpenOCD with a wide range of dongles, for example).

(No device rooting is required)
