you're seeing the prompt with the IODC console ?

Unfortunately, the IODC console is not designed to be full-duplex for
multitasking OSes.  Thus, you need to get the serial / HIL driver going
on your hardware to be able to input things or add input to the IODC
console driver which will cause bad 5 second delays (according to the
documentation) when there is no input.
