I decided to avoid this one, and instead wait for the next Chromebook with
5420.

Has anyone tried to wire up serial to the current Chromebook?
How about a USB serial port?

Anyone heard rumors about an Arndale board with the 5420? Insignal was
planning to sell an Arndale board with the 5410 [1], but I'm not sure if
that's still the case.
Is the Arndale actually available to buy?  Their website is
still "coming soon" in November.
