The other special thing they do is use the DDC pins on the VGA connector for serial.
Is this their idea or from the 5536?
Anyway, I got the pins for last LinuxTag where I made a cable for Stefan. Let me know if you need and I'll dig them up.

It is a 5536 feature. I was just noting that it needs to be setup and that it is a little more challenging to debug. You need a special dongle.
Note that on the DBE62 we have the possibility to optionally have a daughterboard that has a dedicated serial port. For these, having the DDC work (serial port not set up on DDC pins) would be the preferred way. Sometimes that's the preferred way for other boards too, to have nicely working DDC. So basically it would be nice if setting up the serial port on DDC pins would be a configurable thing.
