According to https://github.com/beagleboard/pocketbeagle/wiki/FAQ, it
looks like you use a web browser; not a monitor. Once you get to the
config screen using the web browser, I'm guessing you can enable SSH.
After reading about it, I think it sounds like a neat project with
some niche applications. But I also think you should probably use a
more traditional dev-board, like a Pine-64, ODROID-C2, LeMaker HiKey,
RaspberryPi-3, BananaPi, CunieTruck 5, etc. You will find them easier
to use.
