Hello,

i have an Magician an searching for an Com-Port. The Device has only an Micro-USB- / Mic.- Port. I saw at the wiki that there is a Port at the CPU called RX/TX /dev/tty2, can i use this as Com Port (with a max232?), for an serial GPS reciver an Terminal Aplications ?

You cannot use a serial GPS with Magician. You MUST use a bluetooth GPS.
There is no serial connector and "Serial over USB" is not implemented in ROM.

I dont think so. You would be the first after YEARS to find this out. Anyway /dev/tty2 is linux??

You should better try something like this, saves you hassle:
