Embedded Linux Login Debug

Overview

Use this skill to choose a safe login path for an embedded Linux device before debugging. The agent should identify the available access method, collect only the required connection details, and start with read-only checks after login.

When To Use

Use this skill when:

• The user wants to log in to an embedded Linux device, development board, router, gateway, camera, or appliance.
• The user mentions SSH, serial console, UART, ADB, Telnet, local console, recovery console, or vendor web debug access.
• The task requires checking runtime state on a target device before changing files, services, partitions, networking, or firmware.

Do not use this skill when:

• The target is a normal cloud server or desktop Linux machine with a known access path.
• The user only needs static source-code analysis and no device access.
• The request is to flash firmware, erase storage, modify bootloader settings, or change partitions without a separate safety plan.
