i.MXL (APF9328)
Nothing special to do, the 2 UARTS are activated by default.
i.MX27 (APF27)
- On i.MX27 UART controllers pins are multiplexed with other peripheral controllers. So configuration is a little more difficult.
$ make linux26-menuconfig

Some UARTs will be preselected or won't be available, depending on the other devices configured or the baseboard used. (For example UART4 is not available on APF27Dev; indeed pins are used for USB1).
$ make
- Reflash your Linux kernel

Now you have activated your serial port, you can use them: Serial ports usage on Linux
