All good questions. I too am interested in using s-uart/
... at the moment I don't know how, but will be attempting to find out. I'm assuming it will show up in the /dev/ folder as a device (if it has a driver on it). The may take some experimenting.
You probably know that you can jumper across the Tx and Rx pins of a uart device to echo characters on either minicom, or 'screen'. ( I often use 'screen' rather than 'minicom' these days ). You can also setup screen to talk on uart3 and listen on uart4 (and visa vera from another screen) to locally test uart ports. I have actually not tried to access S-uart yet (other than bt) so I know it works, just not sure how to access it with minicom !
let me know here what you find, and I'll do the same
