Disabling Serial Console in Beagleboard XM

Hi all,

I want to disable the serial console of my BB-XM for using it in my application.

I tried removing the console in CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS and recompiled my u-boot and kernel.

Still I am getting the serial messages. Can anyone point me which I have to disable in u-boot and kernel for getting away with serial console?

Also I was using Sitara SDK for Beagleboard xm and I forgot to include uEnv.txt and user.txt but still the booting was proper. Is uEnv.txt and user.txt are required or not??

Thanks!

    Sorry I dint read the README properly. I configured serial for silent booting and it works fine.

    I have another question, as I want to use this serial port in my application, is it possible to use my serial port till my booting and loading of linux and thereafter the control is switched to the application.

    I right now commented out  the following line in /etc/inittab

    #S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyO2

    Will this stop my serial port being as a console? and after this can I use it in my application?

    Thanks and Regards!
