Dave told me he got 3 u8500 boards but no UART break out board. From what I have heard the u8500 boards for Linaro should come with a full kit including power supply and UART. If you have a u8500 board please let me know if it contains a UART break out board or whether it is missing.
After some investigation, it appears that ST-Ericsson neglected to send out the UART break-out boards. This was a mistake and has since been rectified.
I hope that answers your queries.
Kind regards, Lee
