You must create those inodes in /dev on the root filesystem used |
|
by your SA1100-based device:: |
|
|
|
mknod ttySA0 c 204 5 |
|
mknod ttySA1 c 204 6 |
|
mknod ttySA2 c 204 7 |
|
mknod cusa0 c 205 5 |
|
mknod cusa1 c 205 6 |
|
mknod cusa2 c 205 7 |
|
|
|
In addition to the creation of the appropriate device nodes above, you |
|
must ensure your user space applications make use of the correct device |
|
name. The classic example is the content of the /etc/inittab file where |
|
you might have a getty process started on ttyS0. |
|
|
|
In this case: |
|
|
|
- replace occurrences of ttyS0 with ttySA0, ttyS1 with ttySA1, etc. |
|
|
|
- don't forget to add 'ttySA0', 'console', or the appropriate tty name |
|
in /etc/securetty for root to be allowed to login as well.
