Since only a few device nodes are created in the default firmware images it is likely that device nodes will not exist for drivers other than the ones enabled by default. Consequently, you will have to create the device nodes yourself. Since the root file system is on a read only partition the creation of the device nodes has to be done when you build the images. A suggestion is to add a few lines in “packages/devices/axis-2.4/Makefile”.
