| 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.
