# 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)
