hi guys i've created a jffs2 FS using buildroot tool,now my problem is after the kernel loads it(rootfs) it asks for login what shall i do??is there any way to skip this step? .
rootfs
hello no body had this trouble? okay atleast can someone tell me if their jffs2 created with buildroot work??if yes then it wud give me some boost to continue.. thanx in advance kevin
login should be "root" with a blank password (it doesn't even ask me for password.) I did have problems that I couldn't enter password if I compile with WCHAR enabled. works with it off.
how to enable serial communication with buildroot.so that when the file system is up i can atleast try putting some login id or something? Or can someone tell me some other way of creating a rootfs?
I'm not sure how to enable serial communication with buildroot. I would try asking in the mailing list of buildroot for that. You can however, as described in chapter 4.10 of "Building Embedded Linux Systems" (I suggest reading it if you haven't!), use a Terminal Emulator like Minicom, UUCP cu or C-Kermit to get serial communication with your embedded device. Otherwise if you're able to get a serial connection from a Windows PC to your embedded device you could also use HyperTerminal for communication. An other way of creating rootfs is by using Openembedded or Emdebian or by doing it manually. From what I've heard, Buildroot is still the easiest way.. Good luck!
seems i wasnt clear with my question.Okay i have a serial terminal on my HOST . i can see u-boot booting up kernel and finally the jffs2 on the serial terminal.Problem starts here i see "Welcome to Buildroot" "buildroot login:" on the 2440 TFT screen.i cant type nothing in there, using the host-target serial link(in other words i cant get the console login).Can anybody point out if its becoz of buildroot?do i have to change nething before compiling the rootfs? Or is there any1 who has a working jffs2 created with buildroot? p:s: i flash the rootfs the mmc way!
If you have a usb keyboard plug it in and you should be able to use the terminal on the screen. To get the serial console working you need make sure that 'console=ttySAC0' is on the kernel boot parameter list (it is by default if using vivi) and in the buildroot menuconfig change Target options ---> Generic serial port config ---> Serial port to run a getty on ---> ttySAC0
