So you need to look at your configuration and work out why your serial
driver package is not active.

eg the top of the AT91 driver has:

cdl_package CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL_ARM_AT91 {
    display       "Atmel AT91 serial device drivers"

    parent        CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL_DEVICES
    active_if     CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL
    active_if     CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_AT91

We know you have CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL_DEVICES enabled. Does your
configuration have CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL enabled? Does your package still
require CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_AT91 which is not true for your hardware? Have
you made a typo in the name of the replacement?

Look at your ecos.ecc file. You can learn a lot from that.
