Hi All
With the change to the new omap-serial stuff, the device names have changed
from /dev/ttySn to /dev/ttyOn.
Using the "fit/form/function" argument, this would seem to be a bad idea.
The kernel does not exist in a vacuum. It is surrounded by u-boot scripts,
command line options, init scripts etc etc. Flipping back and forth between
2.6.36 and 2.6.37 kernels for testing purposes needs these to be changed.
Annoying and anti-productive.
Isn't it just better to just replace the ttyOn name with ttyS. That would make
a far smoother transition.
Thoughts?
In fact, the transition is not friendly indeed for a user. I don't know why
the transition is introduced, for what purpose? Who can give a explanation?
thanks,
Hello,
And another question, why there is no entry in Documentation/devices.txt?
Regards,
AWG
