Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

The SA1100 serial port had its major/minor numbers officially assigned:

If you're not using devfs, 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.
