There is no uart in the 8240 itself or on the 8240 processor module but there is a uart on the sandpoint. It is a 16550 compatible uart on the National 87308VUL SuperIO chip. Go the the National website for more info on that chip. Yes, Hardhat linux supports that hardware. That is what the serial console uses. Mark ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
