For those who will need a serial console - it's relatively simple. Remove plastic cover and you'll see big pads (J9) right next to J23 connector - these are serial lines.
As usual, CMOS/TTL level converter is required (I used small board with MAX232 and external power supply I had from other project). I didn't solder anything - taped wires to the PCB with a scotch tape.
