whenever I take the plain Contiki examples (like "hello-world") and
build them for the Zolertia Z1, I can't use the terminal console
afterwards, since it just returns the same bytes that are incorrectly
interpreted (i.e. something is wrong with the serial settings).

I tried calling serialdump-linux manually with different baud rates,
and I also tried GNU screen with different baud rates and settings for
parity bits, stop bits, etc. Example: screen /dev/ttyUSB0

Check:

"(...) a packaged toolchain can be obtained from TinyProd, we have
tested this version against the msp430-gcc-4.6.3 and works OK, corrects
the strange problem of msp430-gcc-4.5.3 with garbage being displayed
when printing text on the console using the serialdump script."

Tell me if this fix your problem.

Thanks for the quick reply. I found the site you're referring to about 5 minutes after posting my issue, and downloading the -4.7 toolchain actually worked for me. Thanks!
