Read from serial port

Command:

ubus listen serial.ttyS0

Result:

{ "serial.ttyS0": {"data":"<incoming message>"} }

<incoming message> is a line read from the serial port. All the CR (\r) and LF (\n) characters will be eliminated from it.

Write to serial port

ubus call serial.ttyS0 send '{"data": "<outgoing message>"}'

data is a fixed attribute. To send a message to the serial port, replace <outgoing message> with the message you want to send. An <outgoing message> will be appended an LF (\n) character at the end before seriald passes it to the serial port.
