Using Python for serial is pretty easy. If you install Python from the
buildroot menuconfig, check the subfeature "include pyserial" - that
gives you the serial module, which is otherwise not a part of std.
python library.

Then check the "Short introduction" on this page:
http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/
