Nope, there is no such thing as device nodes under Xenomai's RTDM skin.
But when your 16550A driver is compiled into the kernel, you have to
provide some hardware parameters via the boot command line to configure
at least one port:

8250.nr_uarts=3D0		(to keep Linux away from using the UARTs)
xeno_16550A.ioaddr=3D0x3f8 (first UART)
xeno_16550A.irq=3D4	(first UART)

Of course, you can also increase 8250.nr_uarts and move the 16550A
driver to some other port etc. I guess this should make it into
doc/txt/16550A-driver.txt as well...

Alternatively, turning xeno_16550A into a module again allows you to
reconfigure your hardware on a running system. Then that mentioned doc
file fully applies again.
