Hi...
I have an AM335X Starter Kit, on which I am running Linux built from the SDK to an SD Card.
By default, when Linux boots, I can see the boot log through serial terminal (over USB) with minicom from another Linux. And it starts matrix-gui on the LCD, which can be interacted through touchscreen. I have disabled matrix-gui service from /etc/rc5.d, and after booting, the LCD displays an empty screen now, which I can dump garbage to with 'cat /dev/urandom > /dev/fb0'
Instead of the serial terminal over minicom, I would like to see the Linux boot messages on the LCD on a console, and I would like Linux to boot into a root shell on the LCD, to which I can connect mouse and keyboard and run shell commands on. Very much like normal Linux desktops, that have multiple virtual terminals that can be switched with Ctrl+Alt+Fn and logged in to.
Can someone give some tips, or point me to some documentation/thread that achieves this through follow-through instructions? Kernel menuconfig? /etc/inittab? bootargs? ...?
Thanks in advance...
