You can get the converters really cheap on ebay.
Every board I have has<br>
one permanently installed, so I can always get into
the console. I buy<br>
them in a 5 unit lot from a china supplier at $5 for
the lot.<br>

Could you please share the name/URL of the supplier
you use, please ?<br>

Sure,<br>

I just ordered to restock my supply:<br>

<br>
But simply put<br>
<br>
USB TTL<br>
<br>
Into your ebay search and you will find plenty of these.
Choose what best fits your sourcing, quantity, delivery
schedule, style.<br>
<br>
All my arm boards have one permanently installed for
console access. I only need 3 wires: TX, RX, GRD.<br>
<br>
This is why I am upset with the pcDuino Nano Lite in that
I cannot get one working on it. I am actually going to
rate this board as a "don't buy" for a server platform
becuase of it. I look at this as a much better way to
manage a lot of servers than a KVM box that I use to use
with my Intel servers.<br>

<div>Hi Robert,</div>
<div>If you have an image around, you might want to try the
Fedora 22 image on the pcDuino3 Nano Lite.</div>

No pcDuino3 uboot in F22. The only uboots are:<br>

<div>Before F23 the board had a problem in that you couldn't
get the uboot information out of HDMI. From what I was
told it was only going out the serial console.</div>
<div>Maybe with a little tweaking with uboot we can get both
HDMI and serial port working.</div>

Yes I can and do use SSH a lot, but there are times when
things are not working that you want that physical
connection.<br>
<br>
I also use screen in an SSH session to run a big command,
so if I loose my SSH session, I don't have the command
prematurely ended. REALLY worth doing on a remote 'yum
update'!<br>
