I cannot get the serial console working.  I have follow the schematic at:

http://learn.linksprite.com/pcduino/quick-start/pcduino8/explanation-of-headers-of-pcduino3-nano/

To connect a USB/TTL adapter and run (as I do for my Cubieboards)

screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

And nothing.  So I really want to have this working to bring up C7 on it 
for testing.
