Dear BBB users, I just bought me a BeagleBone Black board, and want to install the latest snapshot.
Firstly, OpenBSD/beagle is dead, replaced by OpenBSD/armv7, right? Secondly, I need a serial cable to connect to the board. http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBone_Black_Serial mentions 6pin cables that do not quite look like the serial cable I have always used. (The serial cables linked from that page are about $20 each - which is about half the price of the board. Am I missing something?) Should the other end of the serial cable be the traditional RS-232 connector, or do serial/USB cables also work? Specifically, have you succesfully used any of the following with the BeagleBone Black? http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/TTL-232R-3V3/768-1015-ND/1836393 http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=34M8872 https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9717 http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBTTLSerial.htm https://www.adafruit.com/products/70 http://www.adafruit.com/products/954 http://www.logicsupply.com/products/ss_ttl3vt http://dx.com/p/arduino-pl2303hx-to-usb-ttl-upload-download-wire-black-100cm-199553 http://dx.com/p/ft232-to-usb-ttl-wire-integrated-terminal-cable-for-programmer-black-95cm-203717 Lastly, does the amrv7 platform have its own mailing list? As the beagle support is a work very much in progress, what is the discussion I should follow? Jan
