SOL,obmc-console-client can't connect to the host OS

No problem!

OK, great. So ttyS3 is the device that we want obmc-console-server to be
using.

You're still passing ttyVUART0 to the obmc-console-server command-line,
so it will try to use this for the connection to the host. In your
system though, you want it to be using ttyS3 for the connection to the
host.

So, you should be running something like this instead:

   obmc-console-server --config /etc/obmc-console.conf ttyS3

And because you're not using the VUART device, you do not need to
specify the LPC address (with the `lpc-address = x`) in obmc-
console.conf. You should be able to remove that line.

We only need on our platforms this configure the VUART to be at the
correct address on the AST2500 LPC bus. Because you're not using that,
you don't need the lpc-address line.

No compiled configuration changes are needed - just tell obmc-console-
server to use ttyS3 rather than ttyVUART, by modifying the command-line
argument.
