The simple, cheap and easy what to do this is to get a cheap PC of any kind. Perhaps a 15 year old notebook PC. Then connect the serial port on the Thunderbolt to the serial port on the PC. (This is a good reason to buy a way-old PC notebook because those had real serial ports. Lacking a serial port, use a USB to serial dongle.)
Then install an OS like BSD or Linux on the PC and you are done. You can then manage the Thunderbolt by remotely logging into the PC and using a terminal emulator to get to the serial port. It's pretty simple and you will likely find other things to connect to the PC or run on it, like maybe NTP and use it for a low-end web or file server. You can get a good enough notebook cheap or a good enough desktop for free.
