Fwd: UART #1 access on Sequoia board

I am using kernel version 2.6.23 which came with the Sequoia support CD. So
that means UART # 1 BSP would probably not there?  But device file
/dev/ttyS1 is present in rootfs when listed using 'ls'. Do you think
updating the kernel might solve the problem?

BTW where can I see the board's DTS file?

transfer, while UART # 0 is connected to remote terminal access on host.
However there is no module/driver listed for UART # 1 using 'lsmod'. The

kernel space? Do I need to develop own BSP for this? please help.

The driver is normally built into the kernel.  If the board DTS file has
both UARTs listed, and you have /dev/ttyS1 on your rootfs you should be
able to use it.  However, Sequoia wasn't added until 2.6.24, so I'm not
really sure what kernel flavor you are using.
