Provided you have a basicx or connex, and the version is new enough
that it uses the "New  60 pin connector" (see
<http://docswiki.gumstix.com/Gumstix_motherboard_I/O>) then you can
use all 4 UARTs.

However, if you have a connex with any of the gumstix boards plugged
in, then the HWUART is unavailable.

If you have a bluetooth module that the BTUART is probably also unavailable.

FInally, the console uses FFUART, so you'll need to take some steps to
disable console output if you want to use that UART.
