AM335x starter kit USB connectivity

I have been able to get a lot of the interfaces working, but I've had
no luck getting to the console port over usb.

My understanding is that the mini usb connector acts like a usb hub
and a serial device connected to the serial console.  That's what their
diagram shows.

I don't get any activity on my pc when I connect, using the full-usb to
mini-usb, to the eval board using either the android or linux sd card.
The kernel doesn't recognize anything, lsusb doesn't show anything,
and it isn't recognized as a serial port.

Adding confusion, the connector looks a little bit out of alignment.
