serial-log just reads data from one serial port and prints it on
stdout. When I'm working with the robostix I normally do something
like this:

serial-log &

It will read from /dev/ttyS2 (aka STUART) at 38400 baud and print
anything it receives to stdout (i.e. your terminal session).

Then with the jumpers in place to connect the robostix UART-0 to the
gumstix STUART, anything printed on robostix UART-0 will show up on
your terminal session.

If you don't run a program like serial-log, then the characters
printed by the robostix just go into the bit-bucket.
