Hi All,
I have a beagleboard xm with the expansion board v2 having a 7 inch touchscreen. It came with a rowboat android image having the touchscreen driver.
I have an android application which is supposed to communicate over serial port. Now there is only 1 serial port on the board which is used as the kernel output.
I have the following questions:
1. Can I use the existing serial port? Will the data of my application get mixed with the data from the kernel.
2. Alternatively can I use a USB-Serial convertor connected to one of the USB host port on the beagleboard. I have a PL2303 based device, which gets detected on Ubuntu but not on android running on the beagle board. What changes would I need to do to the kernel if I have to use it?
