Please follow one of the existing guides (for example [here](https://scribles.net/setting-up-serial-communication-between-raspberry-pi-and-pc)) and make sure UART is working on Raspberry Pi OS before proceeding.
If you're using a Raspberry Pi 4B and want to test if the UART is working correctly, you need to do a few extra steps.
UART0 (the one that SerenityOS uses) is used for bluetooth on these models, so for the OS to use it instead, ensure that you disable Bluetooth inside the `config.txt`:
```
dtoverlay=disable-bt
```
### Step 2: Mount SD Card

### Step 3: Copy Serenity kernel to SD Card
`kernel8.img` can be found in `Build/aarch64/Kernel/Prekernel/`. Copy it to the main directory on the `Boot/` partition, next to `config.txt`. You can either replace the original file or use another name (see above).
