Usb uart on the bemicro sdk

Hi all, first post.

I registered because for the life of me I cannot figure out which pin goes to the usb uart on the bemicro sdk. Perhaps there is a another way to get data on to the stick.Anyway if someone could point out how to read the schematics or just say which pin it is, I'd be really grateful.

    That is because there is no USB UART on the BeMicro-SDK. There is a USB-Blaster circuit on the board.

    One way is explained in this tutorial (which includes files for the BeMicro-SDK):
