Linux kernel ;

So there is plenty to be seen.
Unless you have fried the serial port with the wrong voltage or made a wiring error.
Those are the only choices at this point.
Oh... I measured the voltage. It's about 5V... So that must be the reason. Now I'm getting a new one.

I hope this will not be too high for those chip...
