Thanks for your answers. Okay, I will join Nios-linux mailing list.

I suppose you know in normal linux (after version 2.6.13) after creating the device nodes the actual device management is handled by 'Udev'. Earlier people used use 'devfs'. I understand using device tree you can create the hardware IO map for kernel this far lower level than udev. Actually in normal linux generic way of hotplug and all the information propagation to user level processes is done by Udev API (generally using DBUS). I just wish to understand all the differences with the standard Linux so that we can write the applications correctly for uCLinux with virtual memory.

Thanks,

KY
