[Arm-netbook] USB console idea

Was thinking why not use the USB for console?

and a quick google turned up two interesting existing projects solving
that

U-Boot USB Gadget serial support:

Linux kernel USB Gadged serial console support
http://mailman.uclinux.org/pipermail/uclinux-dev/2010-April/002362.html

The U-Boot changes most likely require a bit of tweaking for A10 U-Boot,
but the kernel part is generic assuming there is USB Gadget (device, not
host) controller support.

Henrik
