Z71: Serial port

Submitted by marex on 1 August, 2006 - 18:16. Palm Zire71

Here is a patch that fixes serial port in linux on palmz71. The prob was that GPIO1 was set in a wrong way and so linux wasnt able to use the serial port."
Apply this patch on top of the previous one (from 29/07/2006 ; get it here http://hackndev.com/node/478).

HowTo:
Now you dont have to choose RS232 from that pulldown menu in Garux. Just leave there None Then you can try it eg. by prepending console=ttyS0,115200 before console=tty0 in kernel command line and this will open system console on ttyS0 at 115200 8N1, so you can just use minicom to connect to it
You can use what baudrate you want of course Getty on palm will also work.

Happy hacking and enjoy the serial
