AFAIR the default programming of the CP2102 is to do 921600 and you need to reprogram it to do 1MBaud.

I'm trying to read the debug info from the firmware in icE1usb via the 2.5 mm serial connector. I'm using the sysmocom CP2102-25 cable.

Are you sure you have configured your CP2102 to actually do 1,000,000 bits per second? The factory
configuration of those chips is to use 921600, AFAICT. I think you can only configure it to either support
standards 921600 or 1000000.

The above applies to all CP2102 based USB serial converters and is not specific to the sysmocom cable.

You can find references like

I always label my cables with either 921600 or 1000000 as the re-programming is too cumbersome.

The documentation states that the serial speed is 1000000 bps.

this is correct.

Unfortunately I only receive garbage. I have tested with a number of other other speeds but can't get it to work. I assume that the debug output should be in text format.

the output is text.
