Just got mine a few minutes ago…

Apparently, the BeagleBone Black lacks the built-in serial to USB adapter that the original BeagleBone had.  Serial is available on a 6-pin header that should work with common 3.3v serial-to-USB adapters.  I'll try it in the morning.

It looks like the 2GB Flash takes the form of an eMMC connected to the second MMC interface.  So it should be straightforward to add support for it.  With 8-bit support, it should be a lot faster than a uSD card.  We'll see.

Past bedtime.  Darn.  ;-)
