Why login prompt doesn't display in the serial console
by Cranegsh from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DK2P)
Hello,
I built a Linux image for Raspberry Pi3. Right now, the serial console displays Linux booting information but stops before login prompt.
I checked what's required for SysV init. It looks everything is there.
But what's required for SysV init are there as below:
/boot/cmdline
console=serial0,115200 console=tty1
/etc/inittab
1:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
/sbin/getty
/sbin/init
/bin/login
But the login prompt is not displayed in the console. There is no any symbol shown. Tried to change 38400 to 115200 in /etc/inittab and still no any display.
What might be missing?
Thanks!
Crane
