Got my new RPi 3s. So exciting! Connect to my serial cable, fire up Serial on the Mac, ready to install my normal way, and….garbled garbage.

+ +

Turns out some winner in Piland re-used GPIO pins necessary to make serial work for Bluetooth. I guess they figured that no one used serial console?

+ +

To fix, you’ll need a monitor & keyboard. First follow the instructions here up through “Update firmware” (rpi-update). Then edit /boot/config.txt and add the line:

+ +
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt
+
+ +

Reboot, and your serial console will work again.
