I owe APM2 for a few months now and since them CLI was always showing such mess. Because I didn't need it I wasn't asking if it's "normal". Looks like I'm not the only one.

that's normal. If you don't hit the enter key three times at startup it will go into the regular boot process, which quickly moves to binary MAVlink, which is not human readable (looks like garbage on a terminal screen.)

Do you have to push enter 3 times as soon as you click on the terminal tab? it takes about a split second after I click on the tab to start writing garbage and I push enter 3 times and it keeps on doing it.

I can't get into the readable mode in MP since the latest upgrade.. I could before , but now it 's only the binary..  I think it got slightly broken in the upgrade

You will need to reboot the APM and hit enter 3 times and you will get it.

With the new upgrades I started getting this and tried all sorts of things but simply unplugging the APM, waiting, then plugging back in, as soon as you  see anything on the terminal screen hit enter 3 times and your there

I did find a simpler way as often I would do a connect to change something then I would want to get at the logs, but when I clicked on Terminal I would only get this binary data.

Then one day I clicked a second time on Terminal and it connected correctly.

That's it, click once on Terminal and if you get garbage, click again on Terminal.

Works for me.
