Template:FAQ/Questions/second rs serial port

How can the second RS232 serial port on the console-hw board (BRD00002) be enabled when using the gumstix basix platform with bluetooth or when using the gumstix connex platform with cfstix or netCF?
There's a 2-wire solder and cut process which enables two serial ports (FF-UART and ST-UART) on the exposed RS232 interfaces of the console-hw board for these configurations.

The 2nd serial port, which defaults to using the HWUART, can be configured to use the STUART instead, if the console board is being used in conjunction with either bluetooth or a connex board. You will need to reconfigure the GPIO lines, by cutting two lines on the board, and soldering two wires.
