Not getting Shell when booting through serial port


Hi,

I am working on a embedded target board which runs on linux. The target board is connected to a linux machine through serial port. To bootup the target board, I run the minicom in the linux machine, boot the kernal of the target board through giving the boot command through the serial console (minicom). Now the question is when the target board boots up, it doesn't starts a shell. The rc scripts are getting executed. There are target specific applications getting started from the rc scripts. I appended & to the last launched application. Still I don't get shell prompt. Please let me know any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hello,

Please don't double post your problem/question. That'll only take the focus off your issue and confuse both you and us. I reported your other post as a duplicate. Please continue in this one.

Kind regards,

Eric
