I'd start with a simple test.  Build a RAM version of RedBoot for
your platform.  This should come up and try to use both serial ports
(initially both will be used).  This process will test if the drivers
for SMC2 are working properly on your platform.

Question: are you working from recent CVS?  I've made many changes
in this area in the past few months.  In particular, the port setup
for the various serial ports has been extended quite a lot.  Sadly,
I don't have a device which uses SMC2 to test this on.
