errno == ENXIO.

Well it basically says it all. It cannot open /dev/ttyAM1.
/dev/ttyAM1 exists ans is probably a char device node, but
kernel has no corresponding device. Maybe your kernel doesn't
detect your hardware, or /dev/ttyAM1 has wrong major/minor.

Post ls -l of /dev and your kernel boot log, maybe other
ARM people will spot something.
