Why is the serial port print information of UEFI Interactive Shell v2.2 on Jetson Thor garbled?

The serial port printout is shown below.
All content before UEFI Interactive Shell v2.2 is normal, but it becomes garbled after entering UEFI Interactive Shell v2.2.

Hi JasonJ,

The garbled messages are expected as you are capturing the combined UART which outputs log from several firmwares. There’s UTC added for Thor to handle them.

To prevent the garbled messages, please refer to Tegra Combined UART — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide and use nv_tcu_demuxer tool before access the debug UART.
