The serial port is hardware, not firmware related.
The Kindles run Linux -
Linux is a variety of Unix -
*nix systems
**MUST HAVE** an "Operator's Console" -
In the Linux builds we are talking about, that is the first serial port.
Now end-user access to the serial port -
That is another matter.
For instance, we do not know the connection points for the serial port on the Oasis model Kindle.
All of the above regardless of what firmware version a device is running.
The "firmware 5.6.5" portion of the sticky tutorial on serial jailbreaking's title is describing what was running when the tutorial was written, it is not a limitation to that firmware version.
