CLUSTER SERIAL-CONSOLE-DRIVER · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-04-07

Serial console server drivers

This cluster consists of kernel-level device drivers that expose serial console servers from various vendors (Digi, Comtrol, Perle, Moxa, Advantech) as local terminal ports. The dated history before the index is sparse, with entries in 2015 (1), 2016 (3), and 2018 (1), showing no clear trend over three years. Traction leaders npreal2, advantech-vcom, and nslink all have zero stars, indicating minimal adoption.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
