Looks like I got a case of faulty Mini Dock!

Thanks everyone for help!

@Ken-Conrad
I tested everything on several cables (this includes 15cm long low resistant one from my powerbank), several ports on several PCs. My Omega2 and MiniDock are the first ones ever shipped, as I got them by backing the kickstarter page so it's probably prone to "early version" problems.

I don't think I can use part of my arduino board as Rx/Tx to USB converter to bypass the docks UART due to it using 5v logic and possibly burning the Omega2. Anyway I bought a new Omega2 with a new dock and I wait for delivery. I will check if it's just the dock that's faulty.

My internet controlled plant watering device will be completed! Whatever the cost!

My system is Windows7 (I tested also on Win10)
I use Silicon Labs CP210X USB UART Bridge (COM20) version 6.7.4.261.

I tested it using PuTTY and RealTerm with exactly same result.

My Omega is connected to my PC with a out-of-box Onion Omega Mini Dock.

I finally got the time to play with the hardware that I got as a backer of the kickstarter so the software on the is probably in a very old version. From what I see between the jibberish I have:
"Onion Omega2 UBoot Version: 4.3.0.3"
" Ω-ware: 0.1.5 b130"

These are the full logs that I acquired by resetting the omega until the jibberish starts.

When I press reset button nothing changes. I still get "Boot Linux from Flash NO RESET PRESSED." Maybe my MiniDock is faulty?

I installed Bonjour service and its running. No change.
I tested several cables. No change.
I tested several driver versions. No change.

The serial settings are probably correct, because between all the jibberish I can read the correct strings. I think there might bee something wrong with my omega2, because I see this jibberish only when I log in several seconds after the device startup. When I try to log in after 30 seconds all I see is black screen in my PuTTY.

When I turn the switch off and then back on the jibberish starts getting streamed after one seconds of start.

Hello,

I'm setting up my Omega2 and I want to connect through serial, but when I connect through putty to COM20 using 115200 speed this is what I see.

Those wierd characters look like they are inserted through the keyboard, because when I press enter it returns "Filename too long" error.

Did anyone had an issue like this?

[Edit] Same thing on a different PC.
