Created attachment 6626 [details] config file Hi, I was able to compile build root for RPi 3 default configuration and it apparently boots but when I enter login "root" and blank password id does allow me to login. So far whatever I did I was not able to login, even I specified "root" password in the configuration. My .config file is attached. Also I tried to compile systemd for RPi3 but I even did not get login screen (I had to disable post-build script because it was not finding inittab) I am willing to troubleshoot, but don't know how :( thank you Mikhail
I presume you mean does NOT allow you to login? On what interface are you trying to login on? HDMI/keyboard or serial? Thanks for the post-build report. I have now fixed it to work correctly when systemd/no-init is used: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=720b9095a6a9fb23c7a2d7d3e4dabbe6b5299b12
Yes sorry I could not log with HDMI/keyboard. However I learn that for RP3 to use serial line blue tooth needs to be disabled; I used debian stock image and at first could not login via serial, showed garbage characters along with some valid ones. After I disabled BT in config.txt stock image worked on serial line. The same trick with buildroot image did not work. Regarding systemd I build it just by removing the script. It boots but getty gets time out 1 m 30 sec, no login prompt is shown. It is similar to issue described here: http://buildroot-busybox.2317881.n4.nabble.com/systemd-not-working-properly-td82549.html But on HDMI/keyboard. I will reproduce it tonight and send a better report. Thank you! Mikhail
Created attachment 6631 [details] latest config file, default RPi3 configuration
Here is better report (I think) This is what I did (latest version) git pull make clean make xconfig raspberrypi3_defconfig For some reason, it does not show RPi scripts So I exit (saving) and do it again: make xconfig Now RPi scripts in place. make OK. write to SD card. Use RPi3 with display and keyboard attached. Boots fine. Welcome to Buildroot buildroot login: type: root Password: Just press enter. Shows again: Password: press enter Login timeout after 60 seconds. No way it let me log in. I attached latest . config I hope it helps I am going to make changes in config to use systemd and submit another comment. Best Regards Mikhail
If buildroot is compiled for systemd, on HDMI console shown [TIME] Timed out for device dev-console.device [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Serial Getty on console There is no login prompt.
Tested with buildroot git d4db4277ffbd1fae478ba748c626eddc7c220e67 (including [1]). With bare raspberrypi3_defconfig login via serial and login via hdmi/usb-keyboard is possible. With raspberrypi3_defconfig with change to glibc/systemd serial login works out of the box. For hdmi/usb-keyboard (tty1) login the following link was necessary (as advised in [2]): ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service Additional he file /etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d/nodisallocate.conf to avoid clearing the console.

>With raspberrypi3_defconfig with change to glibc/systemd serial login works out of >the box. That could be thanks to systemd's behavior of auto-magically spawning getty's on serial consoles though. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-getty-generator.html Rather than the symlink buildroot created working correctly. >For hdmi/usb-keyboard (tty1) login the following link was necessary (as advised in >[2]): > >ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service >/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service Alternative fix: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/668134/
Hi, I did not try systemd, but default build for rpi3 now does not have these problems, as well compiled with eudev. I used development buildroot. Thank you for fixing, Best Regards Mikhail
Bug reporter says the problem is fixed. Thanks everyone!
