1.The rootfs is fedora12 which is for arm I download from offical
website.
2.I used serial port on my PC to connect my board(freescale imx5) and I
boot my board through NFS Server.
3.I am using Fedora13 on my PC.
4.I am using "minicom" to communicate.
And now,I want to use "minicom" to communicate my board,like using some
commands in shell,but I cannot login the shell on my PC,I cannot input
the count and password,I can only login by my board.
Hi -
IMX31 kernels have a special tty name, like ttymxc0, I assume it's the
same on iMX51
This needs some action on the rootfs side...
1) Ensure you have the ttymxc0 device in the rootfs image
mknod /dev/ttymxc0 c 207 16
2) Tell the rootfs it's OK to run a login prompt there
echo "ttymxc0" >> /etc/securetty
I ran agetty directly on /dev/ttymxc0 since I don't use Fedora's boot
process, so you might also need to look in inittab to start agetty on
/dev/ttymxc0 at all.
For reference, this is how I ran agetty directly:
agetty /dev/ttymxc0 115200 vt100-nav
