I am using the TTL - USB cable from Adafruit (https://www.adafruit.com/products/954) and they have a tutorial on how to use it (which helped me) here - https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-5-using-a-console-cable.
Basically, connect the the data lines (white and green on mine) to pins 14 (TX) & 15 (RX) respectively (For RPi 1), and plug into a free USB port. Then open a terminal and use the command 'screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200' (your USB number might be different) to start monitoring. Finally, power up your Pi in the normal manner. You should see the boot process scroll across the terminal. > I restrict myself to getting all the images for the Raspberry Pi 1B and 2B > from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/ARM:/Factory:/Contrib:/ > > Should I use another source for the images. This is a question I've had in the past too. The wiki for RPi 1 only lists repos for 13.1 & 13.2, nothing about latests builds. The RPi 2 wiki talks about Tumbleweed, but not the others. Andreas posted the link for Tumbleweed earlier, saying it was becoming a more first-class citizen. If someone points to the other definitive repos for the RPi, I'll update the wiki.
