How to install with serial console? - ceving - 1st Dec, 2014 02:11 AM

I connected a B+ with a serial cable to my PC. Before I have changed in the config.txt the console from

Code:

console=tty1

Code:

console=ttymxc0,115200

as explained here. But the only thing I see during boot is

Terminal

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

The initrd does not honor the boot parameter. How can I fix this?

You're following the instructions for Cubox-I

Edit the /boot/boot.src.txt file and run /boot/mks afterwards.

I don't believe there is an option for Serial Console on the Raspberry Pi.

It does but it has to be enabled in the kernel (unsure if it is), I have never gotten it to work.

CONFIG_SERIAL_AMBA_PL011_CONSOLE

is enabled for RPI kernels. so should work.
(even have a very weak feeling someone was using that. because remember discussion how to make it permanent (for ttyX)).
