Re: EP8260

[Jerry Van Baren <gerald.vanbaren@smiths-aerospace.com>]

a) What Wolfgang said :-).

b) What does your EP8260 config file have in it for CONFIG_BAUDRATE?  Did
you override it in the environmental variables and inadvertently switch to
a different baud rate?  Did you try different baud rates with minicom to
see if you could find the one the EP8260 is using?

ANSI vs. VT100 isn't going to do much for you (that is escape
sequences).  It looks like a baud rate mismatch.  It might be 7 bit vs. 8
bit or parity, but not likely.
