In /boot/uEnv.txt if you manually set:

dtb=am335x-bone.dtb

Then boot on the Black with an microSD inserted, you'd fry the hdmi
chip ins a few reboots...

Nah, nothing in that is useful, just a few generic firmware blobs that
always get built by default...

In that thread you were using "cape-universal" & BB-UART1..

Pick "one"...

With cape-universal, you can set the usart pins to "usart"..  no need
for the additional BB-UART1

root@beaglebone:~# config-pin -l P9.24
default gpio gpio_pu gpio_pd uart can i2c pruin

root@beaglebone:~# config-pin -l P9.26
default gpio gpio_pu gpio_pd uart can i2c pruin

root@beaglebone:~# config-pin P9.24 uart

root@beaglebone:~# config-pin P9.26 uart

and now /dev/ttyS1 should be working as a usart ;)
