Hi,
I have captured the output of serial (COM A), that comes from the SP. However, I am unable to disable the same and get the output of LinuxBIOS on the serial

what does "platform get console" tell you?
It should say something like:
$ platform get console
Rear Panel Enabled Speed Pruning Log Trigger
SP Console Yes 19200 No 244 KB
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You need to configure the
console on the SP with the "platform set console" command.
platform set console {--serial|-s} sp [{{--enable|-e}|{--disable|-d}}] [{{--prune|-p}|{--noprune|-n}}]
[{--speed|-S} {1200|2400|4800|9600|19200|38400|57600|115200}] [{--log|-l} size] [{-h|--help}]
or
platform set console {--serial|-s} platform [{-h|--help}]
{-S|--speed} {1200|2400|4800|9600|19200|38400|57600|115200}
Select the port speed for the platform console.
BIOS, the platform OS and the console must
all be configured for the same speed
Cannot be used with: -s=platform
{-d|--disable} Indicate that the platform console monitor is
inactive
Cannot be used with: -e -s=platform
{-e|--enable} Indicate that the platform console monitor is active
Cannot be used with: -d -s=platform
{-p|--prune} Indicate that the platform console log is to be
cleaned of ANSI sequences and pruned of
duplicated information
Cannot be used with: -n -s=platform
{-s|--serial} {sp|platform}
Specify whether the serial port is connected to the
platform COMA port, or the SP serial console
Cannot be used with: -e [platform] -d [platform] -p
[platform] -n [platform] -S [platform] -l [platform]
