Depending on the driver used to drive the uart, those devices can have different names. Uart1, uart3, and uart5 are available for peripherals use. Architecture 2 to be properly integrated in a linux system, serial ports must be visible as tty devices from user space applications therefore, the serial driver must be part of the kernel tty subsystem until 2. Sometimes runtime serial setup is necessary if any of the parameters can only be detected at the runtime where settings are read from a nonvolatile memory device. Currently there no plans to port this driver to other kernel versions. My aim is to write a blocking char driver that return to the user space a complete protocol message from the kernel uart driver.
