[Buildroot] orange-pi build not working

[paul <paul.arssov@sbcglobal.net>]

Hello Micha?l ,

raspberry-pi and may be your imx7 board has a 'cmdline.txt' file in the 
first fat partition where you specify - 'console=...' parameter.

However orange-pi does not have or use 'cmdline.txt' file in the first 
fat partition.
There are 3 files -
boot.scr, sun8i-orangepi-pc.dtb, zImage

Besides, the orange-pi completes successfully the very first boot. Does 
your imx7 board completes the very first boot without 'console=...' 
parameter?


Paul.
