You nearly got it right. Most serial devices are named "/dev/ser0",
and so on. To check which name the specific device you want to use
has, look in the CDL file for the serial driver you are using. It is
the value of CYGDAT_IO_SERIAL_<architecture>_<platform>_SERIAL0_NAME.

If you have the RAM file system installed, you can use the standard
libc/POSIX/UNIX/Linux fopen(), open() or creat() functions. We don't
currently have any support for disk based filesystems.
