In this chapter, we first logged in to our new BeagleBone Black, and then we set up all the developing tools we are going to use in the next chapters (the LAMP suite, native compiler, cross-compiler, and so on).

However, before we start using them, we need to do a fundamental step: we need to get access to the serial console in order to be able to get full control of our embedded board. This topic is presented in the next chapter.
