Is there any easy way to implement a separate serial port on the board, in addition to the base one used for the Linux console shell?
The base serial port is implemented with a FT2232 USB-serial device in the FPGA, so presumably instantiating another one of these IPs on one of the other (full-size) USB ports would get a second serial port, but that's work on the FPGA side.
Is it possible to use an external USB-serial device hooked onto one of the Zybo USB ports? This would require the proper Linux/OS drivers to support such a dongle.

I'm using the Zybo-Z7-10, running Petalinux.

Thanks for suggestions.
