I have one concern about the use of serial interface for THC. The serial components are notoriously slow and sometimes are very far behind the real-time events. With THC you need very fast and in time movements. Unless there is an interface to the Mesa serial channels, I would be cautious to implement a design without proper testing as far as latency is concerned.
