[Bug]: Serial Module Configuration > TEXTMSG > Override Console Serial Port appears to be inoperative

[Coopersmith-24601]

Category

Serial

Hardware

Heltec V3

Firmware Version

2.4.2.5b45303

Description

I have a use case to output the TEXT MESSAGE function of the SERIAL MODULE via the USB-C port.

According to the documentation and video on it I should be able to do that by turning on the Override Console Serial Port switch.

However, when I do that nothing whatsoever appears to be output via the USB-C port.

I know the USB-C port normally is outputting debug and other data in its DEFAULT mode because I can easily see that on the serial monitor I have hooked up to it, but the documentation expressly says I should be able to perform the TEXT MESSAGE function over the USB-C port if the Override Console Serial Port switch is engaged.

Relevant log output

No response

What am I missing? I've tried the same thing on both a HeltecV3 and the RAK19007 with no results. Anything typed in the terminal screen is not echoed back and no message is sent. Baud rates are all correct and I can verify that the terminal program (PuTTY) is functioning correctly.
