Re: Serial console on buster images

[Rainer Dorsch <ml@bokomoko.de>]

Hi Wookey,

I understood the behavior now better: everything works as you described:

root@home-buster:~# cat /proc/consoles 
ttymxc0              -W- (EC p  )  207:16
root@home-buster:~# 

The issue I saw and misinterpreted was that the Cubox-i did not reboot after 
the installer finished. After power-cycling it manually, everything worked fine.

I just did an install cycle to confirm the behavior.

Thanks
Rainer
