Connecting Serial Cable
In order to access the serial port of the BeagleBoard a serial cable is required. New to the
BeagleBoard-xM version is the removal of the 10 pin header and the addition of a female
DB9 connector. The configuration of the DB9 is such that a USB to serial adapter can be
plugged direct into the Beagle connector. No null modem cable is required.
Figure 9
shows where the serial cable is to be installed.

BeagleBoard Serial Cable Connection
If you are using a standard serial port on the PC, a straight through male to female cable
is required. The cable used on the BeagleBoard will not work on the BeagleBoard–xM
board.
