Sample apps serial terminal I/O - no output on FRDM-MCXC041 eval board

[diyguy88]

Newb here.  Looking to transition from Microchip/Atmel environment, so I got the MCXC041 eval board and tried to load the hello world or LED control sample app from the MCUxpresso ide.  I am able to connect to the board and debug single step in.over lines of code, but when I connect to the serial terminal for I/O from the sample apps, there is NO activity.  In the case of hello world I expected a printf "hello world".  In the case of LED control app, I expected to be able to type in "led 1 on" or similar command
