Hi All.

Thanks for the replies. 

I managed to get it working with your help:

1. Make sure RX on serial device points to UARTX TX and TX on serial device 
points to UARTX RX.
2. nano /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt add "optargs=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART1" 
or alternatively add a systemd service (I'm running Debian) to execute the 
command "echo BB-UART1 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr*/slots"

3. to make sure this succeeded:
    run : ls /dev/ttyO* - you should see ttyO1
    run cat /sys/devices/bone_capemgr*/slots - you should see BB-UART1 
added to the output.

This pretty much enabled UART over serial for me.
