Dear Community,

after upgrading (fresh new install) to Beta 2 of Xbian, i got issues at using the serial interface, also known as ttyAMA0.

While under beta 1, the access worked just fine, i can't access it now anymore.

When using:

Terminal

sudo stty 19200 -F /dev/ttyAMA0

I get a not found error:


When looking into the dev/ directoy, i can't find ttyAMA0



Any suggestions? Beta2 just works fine for me, so a rollback is not an option. For my project (Mediacenter with additional features) the serial Port is essential!


Hope someone can help!

sudo modprobe serial_core
sudo modprobe amba-pl011
