b. netchip USB debug cable

c. console system: have USB port

2. SW setting
a. console system: need to have kernel config
   CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_DEBUG
   you should get /dev/ttyUSBx

   # cat /dev/ttyUSBx could get output

b. target system: need to have kernel config
   CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP

   boot command line: earlyprintk=dbgp

c. for Nvidia Southbridge based system: kernel will try to probe and
find out which port has debug device connected.
