I believe he's referring to using the OTG port on the board as a
serial adapter. In the 3.11.x release that will be GA that
functionality doesn't work. I have all the kernel stuff enabled in
3.12 but I need to finish hacking up some systemd stuff so that I can
make it work OOTB with the adapter.

Just to clarify for everyone else here at the moment you need a USB to
TTY serial adapter to plug into the 6 pin header on the BBBlack
motherboard. The USB OTG port doesn't currently work.

As for the LEDs similarly the reason they don't work is that the
support isn't currently in the Device Tree file. We have all the
required drivers there and I'm looking to make sure this is in place
for the 3.12 kernel as well.
