Template:FAQ/Questions/when not using bluetooth

When not using bluetooth, netCF or cfstix, can the console-hw board (BRD00002) be used to talk to that 2nd serial port?
Without bluetooth or any gumstix connex expansion card, HWUART can be enabled in software and connected to the 2nd serial port. Make this change, after booting the gumstix, by entering the following commands:


 * 1) modprobe proc_gpio
 * 2) echo AF1 out &gt; /proc/gpio/GPIO48
 * 3) echo AF1 in &gt; /proc/gpio/GPIO49
 * 4) echo AF1 in &gt; /proc/gpio/GPIO50
 * 5) echo AF1 out &gt; /proc/gpio/GPIO51
 * 6) for i in 42 43 44 45;do echo GPIO in &gt; /proc/gpio/GPIO$i;done
