title: Reading from console input
body: <p>Here is a weird hardware setup that I have got from someone:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>There is a receiver module that receives data wirelessly via some RF modulation. The module has a uart interface which it uses to send out the received data.</li>
  <li>There is an Android tablet. The tablet has exposed a built-in uart connector. If we connect it to a PC's COM port, we can get the Linux console of the tablet (with console input working)</li>
  <li>Now, the receiver module's uart is connected to the tablet's uart connector. Therefore, the received data will be sent to the console as input.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Here is the question: I would like to write an application (either native or dalvik-based), running on the tablet, to read the received data (which is being sent to the linux console as input). Can this be done?</p>
  
  <p>I do not have the kernel source or binary, though I have the adb root access.</p>
