According to https://github.com/beagleboard/pocketbeagle/wiki/FAQ, it looks like you use a web browser; not a monitor. Once you get to the config screen using the web browser, I'm guessing you can enable SSH. After reading about it, I think it sounds like a neat project with some niche applications. But I also think you should probably use a more traditional dev-board, like a Pine-64, ODROID-C2, LeMaker HiKey, RaspberryPi-3, BananaPi, CunieTruck 5, etc. You will find them easier to use. Jeff
