Certain unsupported encodings will completely render the UI useless, so if the UI looks strange, try setting the following environment variable: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" Text Input Not Working ====================== Most development boards require Serial port setup -> Hardware Flow Control to be set to "No" to input text.
