Could you explain that more simply please!?
I have since discovered that some serial ports work for me and others
don't, even though *none* of them actually appear to an ls command.
If I simply do the following in my python program:-
import Adafruit_BBIO.UART as UART
import serial
UART.setup("UART1")
ser = serial.Serial(port = "/dev/ttyO1", baudrate=9600)
Then it works for UART1, UART2 and UART4 but *doesn't* work for UART3
and UART5. That's 'works' as in I can write things to the serial port
and it get sent to a remote system, I still can't see the named
/dev/tty0x device.
I'd expected the Adafruit library to do all that's necessary to make
the port work and be visible.
