Hi Gerard,

did you try to set CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y in your Kernel config ?

Cheers

Hello Andrea,

I have tried to add the line to my machine config:
IMAGE_DEVICE_TABLES = "files/device_table-minimal.txt"

But this didn't help, then I looked a bit further and also tried to set the following:

USE_DEVFS="0"
VIRTUAL_RUNTIME_dev_manager = "mdev"

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to change anything.

Cheers,
Gerard

    Hello Gerard,

    if your old kernel lacks devtmpfs you need a "device table".
    You need to set at least
    IMAGE_DEVICE_TABLES = "files/device_table-minimal.txt"

    This is a default set in image.bbclass before and after daisy...dunno
    what's happened with this release.

    Cheers
    Andrea
