Ensure the installed operating system is configured to activate the serial console and that it is configured for
the proper console (e.g. ttyS1 in Linux). Consult the various operating install guides on this site for further
information.

If booting from a USB flash drive, ensure that the drive was written correctly and contains a bootable operating
system image.
