Re: [Gumstix-users] Pinto-TH has no usb console?

[heathkid <hea...@he...>]

I don't feel "robbed" but the console port would have been MUCH more useful
in a plug-in development board than the OTG port.  I could have done without
the two push buttons (which if you do plug it into a breadboard for
development you can't push those or the reset anyway - or see the LEDs) if
that was needed to make room for the FTDI chip.  Just my opinion but the
reset should have been on top and it should have had a console port instead
of the OTG port. 

I would have also liked to have seen the onboard signal level conversion on
the SPI lines and TXD1, RXD1, and GPS_PPS instead of MMC3.  Oh well.  It's
still a great little board and I'm glad to have it.
