Having only one serial port on my device the DEBUGMSG works fine using
XSC1BD BSP for 4.2.
Setting the flag BSP_DBGSER_UART1 to nothing disables this (no output
anymore).

How do I activate the serial port to be used by my application?
Is it enough to set some flags for compilation to include required stuff and
what do I have to set in registry?

What is the relation between serial files in the /PUBLIC/COMMON folder and
the files in /PLATFORM/MyBSP/DRIVERS folder?

What interface will I be using from my application (COM_Read and COM_Write,
or ReadFile and WriteFile)?

Need some basc help here!
