I have this nice little all-in-one machine TS-7390 from Technologic 
Systems which has4 RS-232, 2 TTL COM ports. Now I am not an engineer 
rather a user. Here is my silly question: 

How can I connect some serial devices e.g. printer/etc. to this 
machine?

I have started my system from the supplied SD card (I did not change 
anything but the IP address).

Now I see there is a COM1 and COM2 right next to the eth1 port. With 
the supplied connectors when I try to output some text nothing 
happens, e.g.  

Problem1:
cat sample.txt > /dev/cua0 
cat sample.txt > /dev/cua1

Problem2:
If I do the same for /dev/ttyS0 or ttyS1 I get a "write: 
Input/output error"

Now the console output with the supplied board on the JGAT portion 
of the 40 PIN JGAT/DIO works.

Problem3:
How and where would I connect the remaining connectors? It says: The 
remaining COM ports are provided by the FPGA through the proprietary 
TS-UART core and are 9-bit serial capable. I know that there are 
some drivers for the TS-UART and I am guessing I will have to create 
the devices ttys.. Am I right here? I hope that I can connect the 
devices without having to put some board in-between like the console 
board or am I wrong here?

Some guidance would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Ole
