Yeah, but its hard to contain the excitement - its a pretty cool device.

Terminal program, since it looks like the output/console is directed to
ttyS0.

There is a daughter board with this thing that has two serial ports and USB
brought out onto it (plus DC plug connector).
 I havent powered it up yet, since I need to clean the desk and get 3.5vDC
(plus some wire soldering ;) )

Unfortunately the signals from the gumstix CPU are brought out by a crap
molex connected, and the daugherboard 'sandwiches' up against this connecter
to make contact - not very nice, but I suppose it works.

The board also has I2C for anyone who is interested.


cheers
