getchar() should work in general. But on some platforms you should set the
device which stdio uses for stdin to a serial driver such as /dev/tty0.
Ensure you enable the serial drivers. The configuration option in stdio is
named CYGDAT_LIBC_STDIO_DEFAULT_CONSOLE

One other case in which it doesn't work is that you can't use it when using
the serial connection to talk to GDB. Mixing serial I/O and the debug
protocol just doesn't work well.

What target is this anyway?
