I'm trying to login mx51evk headless on serial console, and facing the following problems.
- No /etc/init/ttymxc0.conf in headless rootfs - Do not know what username and passwd to login
Should we get these addressed in headless build? We do not expect users to do extra manual works after l-m-c, right?
Hi Shawn,
For "console=ttymxc0" boot option used by mx51evk, there is a bug in /bin/auto-serial-console, which has been fixed by Alexander in linaro.overlay.
Could you please have a try with the changes below? Normally, we don't need to input username/passwd for headless rootfs.
line #15 of auto-serial-console: tty[A-Z]* ) --> tty[a-zA-Z]* )
Regards, Jammy

Doesn't the --dev beagle option create a ttyS2.conf?
If so, perhaps there should be a --dev mx51evk option to create ttymxc0.conf?

That is exactly what I'm curious. Maybe I did not look at the correct place. But I did not see it in linaro-media-create. Can someone using beagle board please confirm?

We don't create such a .conf there. in linaro-media-create we just set the cmdline. On top, we have the magic upstart job in overlay package that sets up a login console for whatever is in the cmdline. I uploaded a potential fix for that as jammy said, so maybe try the latest headless and see if thats better.

I just tested today's headless image linaro-m-headless-tar-20101013-0.tar.gz, and saw the fix is not there yet. But the fix suggested by Jammy works fine for me, with no need of ttymxc0.conf and login username and passwd.
Thanks all, and hope the fix will be in soon.

Could the fix be picked up soon? It blocks mx51 login.
