A know this is going to be a dumb question - but I can't figure out which /dev/tty* the GPIO UART is will available on.

I've read http://elinux.org/RPi_Serial_Connection etc etc but I have no ttyS0 or ttySxxx for that matter.

Anyone know?

Many Thanks

According to this page http://benosteen.wordpress.com.....onnection/

and also http://www.irrational.net/2012.....rial-port/

for the default Debian install, the port is found at

/dev/ttyAMA0

if you want to use it for anything else than the serial console monitor, remember to change the configuration in /boot/cmdline.txt as described in the link above.
