April 17, 2011 by caballeroroberto	Hi, I noticed you use two different functions to do the same thing. fdevopen is used in the uart.c file under the uart_init() function and FDEV_SETUP_STREAM is used in the tempsensor.c file under main(). I think one requires malloc() and the other doesn't. Could you explain why you are using 2 methods? I appreciate your help.
