Well my debug board shows only one serial port (ttyUSB1) .... :(
Well I think there is some hardware problem because I remove fpc cable from
the GTA02 still I am getting special charactors on my computer minicom so I

Other thing I have found that GTA02's TX signal is not comming on the board.
I think fpc connector is not working properly.
