Thanks for the suggestions.
I have found this information regarding serial.conf
sudo nano /media/rootfs/etc/init/serial.conf
With this content:
/etc/init/serial.conf
start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]
respawn
exec /sbin/getty 115200 ttyO0
Are these the ones you mean?
I don't know which adjustments to the uEnv.txt I need - the ones I have
seen appear to be about mounting the microSD under Angstrom (I think). Are
there others? Also, I have not followed Robert's instructions (yet) are
there instructions for cloning eMMC I should be following?
Also, thanks for the tip regarding a 3v3 FDTI, however, according to this
http://dave.cheney.net/2013/09/22/two-point-five-ways-to-access-the-serial-console-on-your-beaglebone-black
The Vcc line on the BBB is not connected - of course I will verify.
Thanks!
