Serial console
AM3359 UART0 is connected to header J1. Use "USB to TTL serial cable 3.3V". Pinout:
Header J1 (J1 = black wire): 1 - GND - (Black) 2 - nc - (Brown) 3 - nc - (Red) 4 - UART0 - RX (Orange) 5 - UART0 - TX (Yellow) 6 - nc - (Green)
The default serial port settings for the board are: Baud: 115,200 Bits: 8 Parity: N Stop Bits: 1 Flow control: None
Use this one: http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/ftdi-future-technology-devices-international-ltd/TTL-232R-3V3/768-1015-ND/1836393
The 5-pin plug mates with the 5 pin header on the BBB. The "black" wire is the ground, connects to header pin 1.
