Please avoid using examples or docs from this site. It is seriously
outdated and is obviously no longer updated (the editor was informed
several times). I just recently had to support a local user because of a
documentation flaw of that site.

There is a serial example under xenomai/examples/rtdm/profiles/serial.

I didn't try the xeno_16550A with pcmcia so far, nor am I aware of any
successful attempt. Please check the code of the Linux driver. Maybe
there is some additional mapping of the 16550A registers required, or
they are organized in an incompatible way.
