Good evening,

I have setup OpenBSD over serial on many RPI's in the past, but tonight
I have been having a really bad time.

I use a ch341 which has worked for me in the past, I have checked my
pinout many MANY times, I have tried cu on FreeBSD, and tio on Arch
Linux but the same issue keeps occurring. Baud-rate has been set to
115200 OpenBSD side in /etc/boot.conf as it was having issues with the
default 9600 (text was gibberish despite both sides being 9600).

So serial works, rx is fine I can read the output and I get the login
prompt, but tx is not working, I don't think its just openbsd as it
doesn't appear to be working in the bootloader either. Its not the
biggest deal as I can set the tty to fb0 and use a monitor and
keyboard, but carrying around a monitor and keyboard and copying text
over from my laptop is not ideal.

I believe my adapter could potentially be broken, as like I said its
worked flawlessly in the past. Just in case I have made a stupid
mistake I am posting here, if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Apologies for the noise.

Take care,
