Re: [microblaze-uclinux] FSLFIFO major number

[j.pfefferl@xxxxxxxxx (Dr. Johann Pfefferl)]

Hello,

the FSL link device belongs to the so called "misc" device class. These
devices have always the major number 10. The minor number starts at 192
(according to the source file ./drivers/misc/fslfifo/fslfifo.h). So you
have to create a device node like this:

mknod /dev/fslfifo0 c 10 192
mknod /dev/fslfifo1 c 10 193
...

Hope this helps,
  Hans
