Norns tty console.
Maps a tty to the framebuffer. Login, and command line unix action ensues!
Some fun ideas include on-device sample audition and management, and to setup Tidal Cycles and SuperCollider, and run Emacs to livecode them.

Make sure fbset
package is installed and this should work.
Use a very, very small font e.g. TamSyn5x9r by loading it from a PSF file with setfont
. I have this in my .bashrc
file, an alternative would be to set the font on startup.
A blinking underscore cursor will remain on the screen once this screen is loaded. Restart norns to get rid of it.
The login session will stay open when jumping to another script. It is best to exit it with logout
or exit
command.
