NAME

mvmecpu − create /dev entries for cpu related devices

SYNOPSIS

/sbin/auto-device/mvmecpu

DESCRIPTION

mvmecpu performs the following steps:

1.  Determines which cpu board is being used by the running system. 

2.  Deletes any existing device nodes for devices not appropriate for the cpu being used (for example, non-volatile RAM, special console ports) by the running system. 

3.  Creates device nodes for devices appropriate for the cpu being used (for example, non-volatile RAM, special console ports) by the running system if they do not already exist. 

4.  Searches the kernel configuration table for configurable device support functions (for example, line printer, ethernet) appropriate for the cpu used by the running system.  Device nodes for these devices are created or deleted as necessary. 

5.  Searchs the kernel memory region table for regions that require device nodes.  Device nodes are created or deleted as necessary.
