Serial Console

i have been trying to get a rs232 console to work for a couple of days now. the kernel i have works great, but i can only use usb-blaster as terminal. i though it would be as simple as enabling the "support for console on nios uart" in the device driver -> character dev -> serial drivers. when i select this, the kernel will build properly, but neither the usb-blaster or the rs232 dumb terminal worked. any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

Hi,

u have to do another configuration : in your file system, edit /etc/inittab and :

--> comment line begining by ttyJ0

--> uncomment line begining by ttyS0

your file should look like the following :

# inittab for uClinux#  Format:#  ttyline:termcap-entry:getty-command
ttyS0:vt100:/bin/agetty 115200 ttyS0#  ttyS1:vt100:/bin/agetty 115200 ttyS1# ttyJ0:vt100:/bin/agetty 115200 ttyJ0
