Thanks I'll try my best ;-)

I think I should mention that I am only in RS-233 interested

As mentioned in the other reply the devices are ttyAM..
where ttyAM1 = COM1

I had looked at that document before but they this system does not 
have a PC/104 bus and this table:

XUART:

# | RS-header | Tx / X+ | Rx / X- | TxEn
 
0  232  COM2  TxD(3)  RxD(2)  N/A
1  232  COM1  RTS(7)  CTS(8)  N/A  
2  232  COM1  DTR(4)  DCD(1)  N/A  

did not make too much sense to me.

Let's say I am only interested in TX / RX (transmit/receive)
which PINs would that be? Is the JTAG and does it mean I have to 
disable the console output (ttyAM0) to get to these ports/xuart 
devices?

In the end together with the other 2 ttyAM.. ports I at least had my 
4 serial ports.

Thanks,

Ole
