AFAIK, there's only one serial console, and that's on the serial debug port (the 6-pin header). You should be free to use any of the UARTs connected to P8/P9 pins, but you'll probably need to enable them first via a device tree overlay. If you want to use the 6-pin serial debug header, you can disable the console by editing /etc/inittab. Comment the line near the bottom that looks like: T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyO0 115200 vt102 ...then you should be able to use the port for whatever you want, but you'll still get some "garbage" spewed by the kernel and u-Boot at boot. You could disable that too, but it's more complicated. If the characters printed at boot are a problem, just use one of the ports on P8/P9. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
