Can you try an attached patch ? I hope it should at least detect UARTs on your board. Be ready that baudrate could be wrong, because we do not know what frequency is used to clock these UARTs. > One chip has "ITE IT8871F 0641-AYS ZF1M04L" written on it, and the other > two have a stylized celtic knot looking "T" followed by "TG16C554CJG > FTA6M-001 0620-B". -- Andrey Panin | Linux and UNIX system administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] | PGP key: wwwkeys.pgp.net
