Right - and that's fairly easy. Even with UARTs (no native USB)
there's libserialport which offers great platform abstraction.

Then it's really just a command line tool. That's straightforward to
write portably.


Actually -- why re-implement a shell at all, why not just create a
simple tool with the commands that are needed?
