Description

Currently the Makefile checks for an active TTY. Sometimes this happens too early. For example, with Fomu, the /dev/ttyACM0 terminal doesn't appear until after the gateware and firmware are flashed.

We should be able to change the check to instead be a shell command issued right before the `lxterm` command.

We'd also want to add a short sleep before the check to give the TTY time to appear.
