 برای پورت دیگر، گزینهٔ `--port /dev/ttyUSB1` را اضافه کنید.
+برای مشاهدهٔ زندهٔ خروجی Serial با حذف رمز، گزینهٔ `--verbose` یا `-v` را اضافه کنید:
+
+```bash
+python3 deployment/serial/init_test.py --verbose
+```

 هنگام اجرای تست، برد باید در پرامپت U-Boot یعنی `=>` باشد.
 اسکریپت ابتدا با ارسال Enter پرامپت را تازه می‌کند و پس از تشخیص آن،
 دستور `res` را برای ریبوت می‌فرستد؛ سپس مراحل بوت را به‌ترتیب بررسی می‌کند.
