+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+  Problem:
+    Using NSH over serial, the "nsh>" prompt repeats over and over again
+    with no serial input.
+  Usual Cause:
+    NSH over serial needs to use the interrupt driven serial driver
+    (drivers/serial/serial.c) not the polled serial driver (drivers/serial/lowconsole.c).
+    Make sure that the polled console is disabled in the OS configuration
+    file, .config.  That file should have CONFIG_DEV_LOWCONSOLE=n for
+    NSH over serial.
