As added bonus, we are also experimenting with kill switches and gaining initial experience.
Depending on feedback we might expand further on it.

For now Camera and Microphones can be (physically) disconnected and turned off.
We also got some requests to also allow disconnecting USB data lanes.

So if you got any feedback, it would be much appreciated.
We are always trying to learn more and improve and we have already learned this works best when listening to you and the communities. :)

I have just received an USB-Cereal from 0xda which allows to retrieve UART logs!
(Though it seems the SBU pins are backwards on my EVT device and i had to plug it with the back facing me. Something to fix for later development stages)

The step i personally consider most important is getting access to logs to make bringups easier.
There are not many worse things than trying to get something to boot up without any indication of what is happening.

With the upcoming SHIFTphone 8 this should be way easier, as we have added a switch to toggle UART via USB-C, which means no soldering required anymore!
