ICP DAS LP-8x4x is an industrial data acquision device. It is based
on PXA270 CPU. The board containsi a lot of (up to 36) standard UARTi
8250i serial ports. System console on the board is provided with
an on-chip PXA serial port. Both modules use /dev/ttyS0 by default.

To solve the collision, PXA ports could be configured with different
name and device numbers.
