The Arduino toolchain needs some help to know which UART to use when running on a 96Board. This file adds two environmental variables to configure both the IDE and command line Arduino tools.

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS adds the correct UART to the GUI IDE MONITOR_PORT sets the correct UART for the Arduino.mk Makefile tools

Signed-off-by: Grant Likely grant.likely@linaro.org --- This works on my platform, but it is only part of a patch. The debian package needs to be updated to install this file as a configuration file.

Slightly off topic, I think that we need to move to this approach for selecting the correct serial port and get rid of the /etc/udev/rules.d rule. The udev rule approach is fragile, and a shell script can make intelligent decisions about how the UART is mapped to the 96Boards LS connector.
