2.2.5 Troubleshooting
No Serial Output
If there is no output at all, check the following items:
• Ensure the cable is correctly attached and fully inserted
• Ensure the terminal program is using the correct port
• Ensure the terminal program is configured for the correct speed. The default BIOS speed is
115200
, and many
other modern operating systems use that speed as well. Some older operating systems or custom configurations
may use slower speeds such as
9600
or
38400
.
• Ensure the operating system is configured for the proper console (e.g.
ttyS1
in Linux). Consult the various
operating install guides on this site for further information.
