Hello,

I am new to Buildroot and have been struggling for a couple of days with 
something and wondering if I could get some pointers. Please let me know 
if this is not the appropriate place to post such questions.

I want to get an embedded Linux image running on a Variscite Dart Mini 
(link below)

https://www.variscite.com/product/system-on-module-som/cortex-a53-krait/dart-mx8m-mini-nxp-i-mx8m-mini/

I have the SOM connected to a dev kit referenced in the same link above.

I wanted to use the opportunity to get familiar with Buildroot but sadly 
Variscite do not support Buildroot and instead they steered me towards 
Yocto.

I have been able to get an image running with Yocto following their 
recipes but I found the whole process to be obscure and opaque and I am 
therefore back to my original objective of using Buildroot.

I have been able to follow the tutorials and get a build working on a 
Raspberry Pi.

However, as mentioned above there is no support available from Variscite 
and there is no specific defconfig for my hardware, so I tried to start 
with freescale_imx8mmevk_defconfig as this seems to be close with what 
appear to be correct settings under the "target options" menu.

However I am not getting anything at the console.

I noticed that the freescale_imx8mmevk_defconfig sets the getty TTY port 
to ttymxc1, so I tried changing this to ttymxc0 as that is the port 
mapped to the debug interface on the development board. Still nothing at 
the console.

I tried changing the init system from busybox to systemd. Still nothing.

I feel like I am poking around in the dark. Any thoughts on what I 
should try next?

Regards, Neil
