Subject: Re: serial port weird chars ...

Both scenarios work well on another host.  On my host serial port when 
interacting with one bootloader the communication is fine and with 
barebox fails.  When using a USB-serial adapter there's no problem.   
Perhaps there's a problem on my board but why does the first connection 
work and with barebox doesn't ?
