It seems to be impossible to connect a board to PC via microUSB port, as it only gains power and not recognises an interface, but it's hardware fault, not pmOS (see linux-sunxi wiki). However, board can act as OTG host, i.e. connect a keyboard via microUSB to USB adapter, or connect a flash drive with microUSB interface, or even a phone using microUSB to USB to microUSB adapter :D. However, when I connected my pmOS phone, it only started recieving power and hasn't been recognized at all, while phone detects board, but can't do anything. Also microUSB port is too near to AC, so I have to get another OTG adapter. Needs more testing. Regular USB ports work as expected.
As said in board's DTS,

So you can't connect it to a PC via microUSB (but you still can use type A to type A cable). However, connecting microUSB devices such as flash drive may work, but untested because microUSB is too near to AC, so most devices can't be connected.

Installation

Follow the Installation_guide, use sdcard method. Then insert microSD into TF-card slot and plug the power cable, pmOS should boot. If not, try once again (on cold boot SPL sometimes decides there is 4096 MiB of RAM and boot hangs).

Serial console

See linux-sunxi wiki page, connect your USB-UART adapter's RX to board's TX and vice versa.

OTG

As said in board's DTS,

/*
 * This board doesn't have a controllable VBUS even though it
 * does have an ID pin. Using it as anything but a USB host is
 * unsafe.
 */

So you can't connect it to a PC via microUSB (but you still can use type A to type A cable). However, connecting microUSB devices such as flash drive may work, but untested because microUSB is too near to AC, so most devices can't be connected.

Audio

Hardware codec isn't supported in Linux kernel yet, so audio jack output won't work. However, HDMI audio works.
