Yes and yes. I've done both - I use USB host from the 24-pin connector =
(see
the wiki page for external requirements).

I use an audiostix2, and I soldered a small 0.050" 4-pin connector =
directly
to the back of the board. I hook that up to a USB <-> TTL module, and get
the console over a virtual serial port on my PC.
