Are you sure about this? I suppose you're testing on the Armada XP GP
board, and this board has a 4 ports FTDI chip, and according to the
board schematics the four UARTs are all connected to the FTDI chip. So
from the SoC perspective, ttyS1 is connected to something, as far as I
can understand. Or maybe you also tested Armada XP DB ?

Best regards,

Thomas
