yes. the mini-usb connector is, in fact, a reverse rs232-usb device
that puts the internal rs232 console on that external connector on usb.
you can just plug it in to a usb connection on another machine,
configure it as an rs232 device (on usb) and you're talking to the uboot console.
(i think there's another usb device on the same connector that provides jtag.)

the other, standard big usb connector is the device's own USB.
thoughtful.
