Cubox-i enable shell on serial console

[cvxx]

Hi,

 

when booting Armbian Sid minimal rolling 6.1.11, there is no serial console login.

 

Console output:

Starting kernel ...

 

Is there a way to enable console login to use the device headlessly?

 

Thanks

There is serial login. I more assume that boot fails for some reason.

increase verbosity via armbianEnv.txt to 7 and boot again to see what happens.

No, I meant, on HDMI everything is ok, it boots and I can login. But the serial stays quiet

[Werner]

That is odd. Is console set to "both" on armbianEnv?

[cvxx]

This is armbianEnv.txt:

 

verbosity=1
bootlogo=false
rootdev=UUID=30b36fce-65d1-44c4-bcec-3677c9fe01bd
rootfstype=ext4

 

[cvxx]

added:

console=both

now I have a shell!

 

Thanks!

IIRC serial on imx6 kernel broke down year(s) ago and it seems it stayed that way. When that happened? No idea. Just saying this is possibility.
