Hey Chris! Very excited about the potential for a lightweight embedded OS. I think I understand my confusion now, I was hoping for a shell on the serial port.

Hey Chris! Very excited about the potential for a lightweight embedded OS. I think I understand my confusion now, I was hoping for a shell on the serial port. Most of the work I do with BBB's is headless. Does the exclamation point mean it's finished booting to userspace? Do you think you could rig up the serial port with a shell? How does Minoca handle GPIO's, and other things like RTC's and SPI? I'm sure you know of device tree and sysfs drivers for GPIO, but I can write you a quick overview!
