The Verdex & the Goliath, a wall-adapter if you like, & the USB gender 
changer for the usb host capabilities.

You'll also need a way to access the console, I don't know how it works 
on the Goliath but normally it's tied to FFUART. It's TTL compliant 
level so you'll either need an RS-232/TTL adapter + serial cable, or a 
USB-to-serial adapter and wire it to the board.
