Using an FTDI chip, connect GND on the FTDI to the debug pin nearest the LED (green lead in the photo below) and the RX pin on the FTDI to the debug pin nearest the logo (blue lead in the photo below). Open a serial terminal (screen /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux - you can probably use Arduino if you're running an inferior OS). You should see a bunch of text output. It's just a repeating message, so you only need one copy of it.
