Uart Console

I want to login on a serial UART terminal instead of JTAG terminal. 

I configured Nios serial Support 

and 

Support for console on Nios UART, 

I disabled Altera JTAG UART support. 

 

When booting the system I can see the Linux boot messages on my serial terminal (in my case Hyperterminal) but it does not show a login prompt. 

Has anybody an idea what is wrong? 

 

As an experiment I added Altera JTAG UART support with support for console on JTAG UART. 

 

When booting I see the Linux bootmessages on the serial console Hyperterminal, the login prompt instead appears only on Nios SDK shell when opening nios2-terminal. 

 

How can I get the login prompt to appear on the serial UART terminal?

Found it myself, 

 

The 2nd console needs to be enabled in 

inittab 

Now it works
