You would need to hack the hal_diag.c for the hal you are using so
that it does not register the serial port. There will probably be a function
cyg_hal_plf_serial_init() which has something like:
// Set channel 0
CYGACC_CALL_IF_SET_CONSOLE_COMM(0);
comm = CYGACC_CALL_IF_CONSOLE_PROCS();
CYGACC_COMM_IF_CH_DATA_SET(*comm, &at91_ser_channels[0]);
CYGACC_COMM_IF_WRITE_SET(*comm, cyg_hal_plf_serial_write);
CYGACC_COMM_IF_READ_SET(*comm, cyg_hal_plf_serial_read);
CYGACC_COMM_IF_PUTC_SET(*comm, cyg_hal_plf_serial_putc);
CYGACC_COMM_IF_GETC_SET(*comm, cyg_hal_plf_serial_getc);
CYGACC_COMM_IF_CONTROL_SET(*comm, cyg_hal_plf_serial_control);
CYGACC_COMM_IF_DBG_ISR_SET(*comm, cyg_hal_plf_serial_isr);
CYGACC_COMM_IF_GETC_TIMEOUT_SET(*comm, cyg_hal_plf_serial_getc_timeout);
Disable this code.
I've never done this myself, so it might not be this simple. Hopefully
this at least has pointed you in the right direction...
