How can I use Ansible of a serial connection instead of SSH?

Viewed 1301

I have a bunch of Raspberry Pi devices that I only configure over the serial console. I am hoping to configure Ansible to update them for me.

I can't find any obvious way to do it (on this list for example: Plugins)

Do I need to write my own connector? Or is there an obvious way to use Ansible of a serial console that I am missing?

Right, currently, there is no serial connection possible out-of-box. You will need a connector like Ansible Serial Unix and enhance em for your needs (if necessary).
