Maybe the USB-OTG has some interface to connect directly to the console (like the old beaglebone). Or maybe you need use the UART connector of your board. > > My current Debian kernel has modules for: (everything with y is compiled > into the kernel, m is a module that can be loaded optionally, not set means > I'd need a kernel recompile, but it can be done.
