Seriously, mdev is a just a bad and now useless hack, it does nothing |
| 11 |
more than using devtmpfs. You do not need udev for a very simple system. |
| 12 |
If you system is a bit more complicated, than udev is what you want. It |
| 13 |
works fine on millions of shipping devices. |

And on any new embedded platform, one should seriously think about using |
| 16 |
systemd too. It is very lean, replaces most of the giant, unmaintainable |
| 17 |
shellscripts that you find in many devices with smaller compiled code, |
| 18 |
and was designed to be a good fit for embedded devices. |
