unreliable serial console output?!
#1
Bug 
Together with Rock64/1GB board, I have bought the USB serial console as listed on Pine/Rock64 site. Booting the board with the community build of 'xenial-i3-rock64-0.5.10-118-arm64.img'. On a linux workstation, using minicom (1500000 8N1 | NOR | Minicom 2.7 | VT102 | Offline | ttyUSB0), I can interact with the board check the following excerpts:
root@rock64:~# uname -a
Linux rock64 4.4.77-rockchip-ayufan-118 #1 SMP Thu Sep 14 21:59:24 UTC 2017 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
root@rock64:~#



The issue is: it is highly unstable meaning if I run the same following command:
root@rock64:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo

multiple times, gives different outputs for each run (as shown below)!! Is this a common problem? is it hardware or software related?
appreciated your help on this matter.
