I closed your duplicate thread.

First , use this link to find the Tx , Rx , and ground pins for the serial console on the EXP bus.

You may use 115200,8,n,1

Use this link to find a good cable.

The serial console just works.  Make sure that your wires are crossed properly:  Tx --> Rx   ;   Rx --> Tx

Also, make sure the ground wire is connected. You may use any serial terminal emulator on another computer to monitor the serial console on your pine board.  ( minicom, screen , and others )  I prefer to use gnu+linux ( Mint ) but you may also use your mac, or even Windows.

Again, it would be easier to help you live on the irc.  Stop by and we can chat.

Edit: irc is not the irc section of the forum... irc stands for Internet Relay Chat. You may use a free client like weechat ( or others ) to access the irc @ the address listed below .

Edit: If you're using the cable I recommended above the green wire (Tx) goes to EXP pin(8 Rx), the white wire (Rx) goes to EXP pin(7 Tx) , and the ground wire (black) goes to EXP pin(9 Gnd).
