Toolchain ---> Kernel Headers (Linux 2.6 (manually specified version)) ---> (2.6.38.8) linux version [...] System configuration ---> (ttymxc0) Port to run a getty (login prompt) on [...] Kernel ---> (2.6.38.8) Kernel version

U-Boot modification
Serial port names have been unified to /dev/ttymxc[0-6]. So if you want to see something on your serial console please do the following before booting:
BIOS> setenv console console=ttymxc0,115200
- Framebuffer can now support multiple LCDs and so LCD you want to use must be passed as bootparam (like serial port). So you can do (for example):
BIOS> setenv console console=ttymxc0,115200 video=imxfb:Chimei-LW700AT9003
