My intuition says something like this:

1. Connect the device to a USB port
2. Open a shell console???
3. Write some code, but I don't know what.

I've be happy to read and learn, but I cannot find some basic info about this, for example, how do I run the jb.sh from the serial shell???

I really don't have any idea how to go forward at the point where I connect the MOBO to USB.

Sorry because the probably obvious questions for experts that may think, but I'm new to this, specially on Linux.
Look at the KT2 Exposed thread, decent pictures, including the PW2.

I am pretty sure I put the connection diagram in it for the currently recommended adapter board.

When you plug into the Linux PC, it will id the new serial cable -
Configure minicom to use that device @ 115000, 8 bits, no flow control, no parity, 2 stop bits.

No code to write, just a few commands to enter.
