Using Serial Console#
To see the board boot log and access your BeaglePlay’s console you can connect a USB-UART
cable as depicted in the image below and use applications like tio
to access the console.
If you are using Linux your USB to UART converter may appear as /dev/ttyUSB
.
It will be different for Mac and Windows operating systems.
[lorforlinux@fedora ~] $ tio /dev/ttyUSB0
