    Balaji,

    If you don't want any login prompt; it can be done.

    Look into /etc/inittab in the filesystem you are mounting.

    You should see a line like this:

    ::askfirst:-/bin/sh
    Replace askfirst with respawn
    OR
    ::respawn:-/bin/login
    Replace /bin/login with /bin/sh

    But again the contents of inittab in your filesystem could be different. Based on my suggestions above you could find the solution that works best for your needs.

    This link could be of help to you:

    If you are unable to get it working, share the contents of your etc/inittab and options you tried. I might be able to offer some suggestions.

    If you get it working, share your changes. Could be a reference for others.

    Hi Sanjeev

    I have tried auto login with the steps that you mentioned above on VAYU EVM board but was unable to login automatically. Can you help me to solve this issue?. I am enclosing my  /etc/inittab file.

    Thanks and regards

    /etc/inittab file : 

    # /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration.

    # $Id: inittab,v 1.91 2002/01/25 13:35:21 miquels Exp $

    # The default runlevel.

    # Boot-time system configuration/initialization script.
    # This is run first except when booting in emergency (-b) mode.
    si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS

    # What to do in single-user mode.
    ~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin

    # /etc/init.d executes the S and K scripts upon change
    # of runlevel.

    Hello Jithin,

    You can bypass the login prompt by amending this line
    O0:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyO0
    to
    O0:12345:respawn:/bin/login -f root ttyO0 </dev/ttyO0 >/dev/ttyO0 2>&1

    Best regards,
