3.3.3 View serial logs
The Terminal page also supports serial (no SSH) alongside SSH, managed in the same UI.
Serial is suited when SSH is unavailable—watch boot logs and debug wiring/setup in 2.3.3 Serial log.
One entry for serial and SSH
Studio does not split SSH vs serial—both use New tab:
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
| SSH session | SSH connect to the active device |
| Serial connection | Serial dialog—pick COM/tty device and baud rate |
You can pivot on one Terminal page: use serial during failed boot, then SSH once the stack is up.
Limits of serial
Serial is terminal-only. It does not support:
- File transfer
- Remote desktop
- Code editor
- OpenClaw deployment (needs network)
For transfers or GUI work you still need SSH to the same machine. SSH and serial can coexist in Studio independently.
Studio logs panel
The Terminal page exposes Studio logs—logs from this client, not from the board.
Use it mainly when Studio misbehaves (SSH handshake failures, model API errors, etc.). You rarely need this day to day.
