Hello Tom,
Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that we are also using the TI/MV 
kernel version 2.6.10. Is it the same that you are using??? 

I did check the Datasheets of the processor. It does say that UART2 is 
multiplexed with CI and CCD ports. These ports are however used for interfacing 
a CMOS or CCD Image sensor (which we are not using anyways). The CCTV camera is 
on the YI port which is not multiplexed with anything. Are you too using the 
CCTV camera in your system in addition to UART2??? If yes then I think there 
should not be any problem.

Also are you using the UART with flow control??? Because in some of the 
previous posts people had faced problems with flow control.

Thanks again in advance for your help.

At the driver level, I'm not sure; we use the TI/MV kernel rather than
the 'git' version.  At the hardware level, VPFE and UART2 signals are pin-
muxed and therefore *might* conflict, depending on your use.  Have you
looked at the pin muxing info (ex. table 3-13) in the DM6446 datasheet?

We use both, yes, so it is possible.  But it means that certain VPFE sig-
nals are unavailable to us.  This is not an issue in our situation, but
your situation may be different.
