Got a partially booting BeagleBoard. Spent an hour battling the serial port. The IDC10 adaptor I purchased was not a pass-thru. It is very nice to get serial output without a working kernel. Managed to get an angstrom kernel working with no rootfs.
The downside to this board, is that it does not have built-in ethernet. You need to buy the add-on board of a USB dongle.
Edit 2014: Gave this board to Robert Wamble. In the age of Raspberry PI’s, this board is an antique.
