Serial driver 16550a on Beaglebone Black

[Michał Hanusek]

Hello.
How to enable a driver 16550a (xeno_16550A) and configure the serial port?

I loaded the driver to the kernel (for the /dev/ttyS4 port) but the device in the /dev/rtdm/rtser... location did not appear.

Please help.

Linux kernel 4.9.88 + Xenomai patch
