Getting started with iMX27 PDK

Hello,

I have an iMX27 PDK demonstration kit. It boots up and runs fine. I have a serial connection up and I get a console prompt.

While I am entering commands, the software will display this after a bit:

mx27# Stopping tasks ... done.

Suspending console(s)

and the unit shuts down. This happens even if I start running a program, such as the FM radio tuner.

What is the secret to keeping the console live so I can do some looking around in there? I need to keep it live in order to access the camera and debug.

OK. Figured out that the touchscreen will wake the console up, but it would be nice to find the file that tells it to shut down, so i can type without having to worry about getting shut down. Any suggestions?

You can use the line shown at the first hint of: http://www.imxdev.org/wiki/index.php?title=All

You can add this line to /etc/profile for a permanent fix.
