To connect to the Beaglebone UART for console messages I connect to my PC with a PL2303 USB to UART adapter.
The product page is present here: https://www.adafruit.com/product/954
We have the wire color coding and pin-out to the Beaglebone's J1 header6 (6 pin header) as follows:
Red: +5V (DANGER: Do not connect to any of the UART headers. Please keep it unused for UART. You may use it for something else but please read the specifications before doing it)
Black: Gnd (Pin 1 which is marked with white dot)
Green: Tx from USB port to Rx of BeagleBone UART (Pin 4. Net Name: B_UART0_RX)
White: Rx into USB port from Tx of BeagleBone UART (Pin 5. Net Name: B_UART0_TX)
A reference image to easily verify:
After connection you can verify the console messages using a program like screen with a configuration 115200n81.
