Thanks for the response.

>From the "cat /proc/devices", I could see "iio" listed like this.

/ # cat /proc/devices
cat /proc/devices
Character devices:
  1 mem
  4 /dev/vc/0
  4 tty
  5 /dev/tty
  5 /dev/console
  5 /dev/ptmx
 ------
*250 iio*
251 pps
 -----

I could see few other deices @ /dev/xxxx. CONFIG_DEVTMPFS is not set in the
def config. I will try it by adding "CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y" and
"CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y".












Thanks,
Naresh
