@ -15,13 +15,20 @@ require sysfs support in the kernel and have it mounted at /sys. For dynamic
updates, you also need to have hotplugging enabled in your kernel.
Here's a typical code snippet from the init script:
[0] mount -t proc proc /proc
[1] mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
[2] echo /bin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
[3] mdev -s
Alternatively, without procfs the above becomes:
[1] mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
[2] sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/bin/mdev
[3] mdev -s
Of course, a more "full" setup would entail executing this before the previous
code snippet:
[4] mount -t tmpfs mdev /dev
[4] mount -t tmpfs -o size=64k,mode=0755 tmpfs /dev
[5] mkdir /dev/pts
[6] mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts

/lib/firmware/ directory. At runtime, the kernel will invoke mdev with the
filename of the firmware which mdev will load out of /lib/firmware/ and into
the kernel via the sysfs interface. The exact filename is hardcoded in the
kernel, so look there if you need to want to know what to name the file in
userspace.
