Hi, I used one of these cables: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9717
and it plugs in directly to the 6 pin connector. I wrote up a web page on creating a right-angle connector which shows the cable plugged in: http://www.davehylands.com/Electronics/Debug-Connector/Small/12-Installed.html It's important to use a 3.3v USB-serial converter. One of the posters mentioned P9-1 P9-4, P9-5. P9 is the big 46 pin connector (female). You want to use J1-1, J1-4, and J1-5 (i.e. the 6 pin connector with male pins). Here's a picture William Hermans posted a while ago that labels the pins quite clearly: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3oca40vrH-g/Ubd5TjD-0_I/AAAAAAAAALU/-GibZBaTvKk/s1024/beaglebone-black-serial.jpg On Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 8:15 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello people, > > I too faced the same problem, but with a simple solution.
