I got this to appear on UART2:

NuttShell (NSH)

But it doesn't accept any input.

Here's the changes I had to do to make it get this far:

https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/compare/master...adamfeuer:feature/sama5d27-xult-improvements

So NSH seems to be able to send output, but not read input. Any ideas about
this...?

I guess to prepare for the GiantBoard I should try to get the NSH console
onto one of the FlexComs...
