The current Buildroot defconfigs for qemu_x86 and qemu_x86_64
instantiate a console on tty1, which appears on QEMU's
graphical window. Add a console on the serial port (ttyS0) to
be used later for gitlab testing.
This change is need since the script used for gitlab testing
needs to use a serial output with pexpect.
This change is similar to the one made for raspberrypi [1] to
handle HDMI and serial console:
This requires three changes:
1. have two 'console=' entries in the kernel command line: tty1,
then ttyS0;
2. change BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_PORT to "console", so it starts
a getty on the last console= passed to the kernel, ttyS0;
3. add a new getty on tty1 to the generated inittab.
Step 2 is actually obtained by removing BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_PORT
entirely from the defconfigs, since "console" is the default value.
Step 3 requires a post-build script since the Buildroot makefiles can
configure only one console.
Note: instead of simply adding a new getty on ttyS0 (which would
work) this patch actually changes BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_PORT to
instantiate a console on UART, then adds back tty1 via
post-build.sh. This is done only to avoid the "GENERIC_SERIAL" comment
where we instantiate a console on QEMU graphical window, then
instantiate a really-serial console on another line.
The result is these two inittab lines:
console::respawn:/sbin/getty -L console 0 vt100 # GENERIC_SERIAL
tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty -L tty1 0 vt100 # QEMU graphical window

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
