* newline on `\r\n` (carriage return, newline)
* no transfer protocol / control flow protocol - just the raw byte stuff
[IMPORTANT]
_Any_ terminal program that can connect to a serial port should work. However, make sure the program
can transfer data in _raw_ byte mode without any protocol overhead around it. Some terminal programs struggle with
transmitting files larger than 4kB (see https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/pull/215). Try a different program
if uploading a binary does not work (terminal stall).
The bootloader uses the LSB of the top entity's `gpio_o` output port as high-active status LED (all other
output pin are set to low level by the bootloader). After reset, this LED will start blinking at ~2Hz and the
following intro screen should show up in your terminal:
