look what i did the other day :blobcat:

the watch is a Fossil Gen 6

#Linux #LinuxMobile #postmarketOS

a Fossil gen 6 smartwatch with the Linux kernel booting on it. 4 penguins can be seen at the top with the left one being cropped out due to the round display. the rest of the screen shows kernel logs and the string "### postmarketOS initramfs ###"
the rear of the main pcb in the fossil gen 6, it's green and round with various test points including two labelled UART_TX and UART_RX
the same pcb now with wires soldered to the uart test pads and covered in red electrical tape. the wires are spliced onto a pair of standard jumper cables so they can be plugged into a USB UART adapter
