+From a6030cbfc6f7e98c7ed0e217332cba27daa1a686 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Daniel Leung <daniel.leung@intel.com>
+Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2019 14:57:08 -0700
+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] sercon: don't clear screen and don't disable line
+ wrapping
+
+This helps with looking at emulator outputs (from both running
+locally and sanitycheck) as clearing screen and disabling line
+wrapping affect developer terminal.
