Can't log in to embedded Linux Buildroot

I'm looking to install Linux onto an Intel Galileo Gen 2 utilizing this and this via installing onto an SD card.

I believe I have successfully done this, as during the boot sequence I am able to select Linux to boot from, however as soon as it starts booting from Linux, I am unable to interact with the Galileo anymore by say typing in my username and password when it comes time to login.

I'm unsure if my peripheral setup is wrong, if I need to install some more drivers to support I/O or something else.

I am viewing the logs from the Galileo via an FTDI cable and currently have a keyboard plugged directly into the Galileo.

Log data

• When I boot the Galileo, this is what is logged.
• Interestingly, the flashing cursor stops flashing and is just steady when I get to the login screen, as if the device is sort of frozen
• However if I then say connect a keyboard, it recognizes it and outputs this log data.

Solved! Turns out it was a faulty FTDI cable!
