APM serial port numbers on Navio 2

so the juice from the meat is

serial_0 = uartA (always console)
serial_1 = uartC (normally telem1)
serial_2 = uartD (normally telem2)
serial_3 = uartB (normally first gps)
serial_4 = uartE (normally second gps)
serial_5 = uartF

really essential stuff, thanks for clearing that up. would be great if there were posts we could suggest to be added to the docs.

Couple of questions though. What does always console mean?
I should be using
-A tcp:0.0.0.0:5760 -C /dev/ttyAMA0
would it make any difference of I used?
-C tcp:0.0.0.0:5760 -A /dev/ttyAMA0

And as far as the UART port on the Navio2 is concerned is it bound to uartC or serial_1 and if not how is it changed?

these answers will really clear up how the navio 2 ports operate for me.
thanks
