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

Sure,
I just ordered to restock my supply:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/5PCS-NEW-CP2102-USB-2-0-to-UART-TTL-6PIN-Module-Seri...
But simply put
USB TTL
Into your ebay search and you will find plenty of these. Choose what best fits your sourcing, quantity, delivery schedule, style.
All my arm boards have one permanently installed for console access. I only need 3 wires: TX, RX, GRD.
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.
Yes I can and do use SSH a lot, but there are times when things are not working that you want that physical connection.
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'!

Yes, I know the drill on searching :). I was interested in the supplier you use since I am not really keen on testing the quality ( I did had issues with various Chinese products in the past ) and the price you mentioned ( 1$/pc ) was very interesting.

read that as "did buy and had issues"
I have ~15 of the CP2102 units installed. So far, no problems. Unless that is my problem with the Nano.
They power up nicely from the notebook USB and I have console in a terminal window. Though 'screen /dev/ttyUSB0 nnnn' requires root privledges. Being in Wheel group is not enough.
I have also plugged a few of them into a USB hub, but it has to be powered for more than 2. Plus you never know which system is which numbered ttyUSBn.

Hi Robert, If you have an image around, you might want to try the Fedora 22 image on the pcDuino3 Nano Lite. 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. Maybe with a little tweaking with uboot we can get both HDMI and serial port working.
Yes I can and do use SSH a lot, but there are times when things are not working that you want that physical connection.
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'!

I have the F22 image. And I just picked up some more mSD cards. So I will attempt an install.
I would think that I would see a debug message on the serial console about loading uboot, but I don't even get a boot startup set of messages...

No pcDuino3 uboot in F22. The only uboots are:
