Yes, I experienced the same, when we developed/tested the ISO installer. The only program where the console worked fine for me is called "Serial" and costs $30 (I could test it free for one week). https://www.decisivetactics.com/products/serial/ Support for many USB-serial adapters are included (without installing drivers). For Mac OS X 10.7 or later. > On Tuesday, August 2, 2016, Lonnie Abelbeck <li...@lonnie.abelbeck.com> wrote: > Hi Michael, > > First, I tried the "astlinux-1.2.7-genx86_64-serial.iso" dd'ed to USB drive, > booted on an APU2 with attached serial terminal (minicom) at 19200 baud. > Worked perfectly, arrow keys navigated the menus, installed, removed USB > drive and it booted as expected.
