Transmit works, so it cannot be completely disabled.

RTS and CTS are low, so both sides should be fine.

Yes, it does.

But currently i have removed the module and i am just trying to get an echo 
with RxD and TxD of the simpad shortened ... no success so far.

Any baudrate will work with the echo loop. And since i saw the Bluetooth 
module sending the correct command complete reply, i am sure, the baud rate 
isn't the problem in any of my setup. Heck, the bluetooth module even 
understands my request, the simpad just doesn't understand the reply ...

I tend to think, that the uart receive function does not work or is not 
enabled at all or there's a problem with the receiver irq ...

I'd really like to take a look at the kernel sources and i found your howto, 
but the kernel in the opensimpad 0.8.1-1 is a 2.4.19-rmk7-jpm2 and i cannot 
find 2.4.19-rmk7 on kernel.org (rmk only has a 2.5 branch), nor do i find the 
jpm2 patch. IMHO it would be cool to have the current kernel sources and 
cramfs sources (at least the ones matching the current initrd-image) at 
sourceforge as well.

Ciao,
  Till
