UDOO usb debug

Introduction
Udoo features a built in USB to serial interface which is very useful for various reasons: You can use it to connect Udoo via SSH without a network connection, programming the Sam3x (arduino) and access the debug console for troubleshooting purposes.

Connecting via serial will practically result in a shell console, the same as the one you’ll obtain through SSH connection.
