Seeking Advice on Autologin for Agilex F-series Transceiver-SOC Development Kit

[raju1421]

Dear Experts,

Currently, I am working on the Agilex F-series Transceiver-SOC Development Kit with EMMC Flash as the booting device. I am using Poky (Yocto Project Reference Distro) 4.1.4 agilex_fm61 with the console connected to /dev/ttyS0.

The challenge I'm facing is that I can't seem to achieve autologin and get rid of the login prompt. I have made changes to the /etc/inittab file, but the desired result is still not being achieved.

Could anyone please guide me on how to properly set up autologin and eliminate the login prompt on the Agilex F-series Transceiver-SOC Development Kit?

Your valuable assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Regards

HI Raju,

If you are using systemd, in the file meta/recipes-core/systemd/systemd-serialgetty/serial-getty@.service change the ExecStart in the service to this :

ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -a USERNAME -8 -L %I @BAUDRATE@ $TERM

try change USERNAME to root or other.

Hi Raju,

Any update from your side?

Hi @mabdrahi ,

Thanks for the response.

As per your steps,we attempted to update systemd using the following command:

ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -8 -a root -L %I @BAUDRATE@ $TERM

Despite this update, it appears that the system is still prompting for the password,

indicating that the issue has not been resolved yet.

Thanks & Regards
