To use the static method for device population, you need to
set the
USE_DEVFS
variable to "0" as follows:
USE_DEVFS = "0"
The content of the resulting /dev
directory is defined in a Device Table file.
The
IMAGE_DEVICE_TABLES
variable defines the Device Table to use and should be set
in the machine or distro configuration file.
Alternatively, you can set this variable in your
local.conf
configuration file.
If you do not define the
IMAGE_DEVICE_TABLES
variable, the default
device_table-minimal.txt
is used:
IMAGE_DEVICE_TABLES = "device_table-mymachine.txt"
The population is handled by the makedevs
utility during image creation:
