Help!
I'm working with an imx53qsb and trying to create a ramdrive to hold files instead of writing them to flash. There are no /dev/ram[0-15] on the SD card or in a mounted nfs system. Below are the steps taken. Any help on what I may be doing wrong will be appreciated.
1) create a node for /dev/ram[0-15], change owner, and change mode
mknod /dev/ram1 b 1 1
chown root:disk /dev/ram1
chmod 0660 /dev/ram1
2) make a 8K drive
busybox mkfs.ext2 -q /dev/ram1 8192
mkfs.ext2: can't open '/dev/ram1': No such device or address
3) mount the drive (did not get this far, failed at step 2)
mount /dev/ram1 /ramcache
This is a partial list from /dev/ directory
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 120 Jan 1 00:00 disk
brw-r----- 1 root disk 7, 0 Jan 1 00:00 loop0
brw-r----- 1 root disk 7, 1 Jan 1 00:00 loop1

brw-r----- 1 root disk 179, 1 Jan 1 00:00 mmcblk0p1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 0 Jan 1 00:02 ram0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 1 Jan 1 00:01 ram1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 3 Jan 1 00:13 ram3
BTW, all of the above steps work fine on a beagleboard.
