> There are only one low speed UART on Minnowboard. The high speed  UARTs are not compatible with the low speed UART. They are memory mapped devices using DMA transfer. The BIOS or OS may emulate the 16550 UART, trapping access to legacy UART I/O addresses. That requires the high speed UART base clock to be set to 1.8432 MHz, so the legacy UART baud rates can be established.
