The UART on the 40pin GPIO header (pins 8 and 10) is not enabled by default. It must be enabled by enabling a device tree overlay that is included with libretech-wiring-tool.

1. Clone, build, and install the libretech-wiring-tool
2. Enable the DTO for UART-A

   sudo ldto enable uart-a

3. Check dmesg

   c11084c0.serial: ttyAML6 at MMIO 0xc11084c0 (irq = 49, base_baud = 1500000) is a meson_uart

4. Test with minicom or whatever
5. To persist after reboot, merge:

   sudo ldto merge uart-a
