I'm a novice working through the "Debian 12 Installation Guide for iMX8MM, iMX8MP, iMX8MN, and iMX93" in order to boot my target platform (i.MX 8M NANO ULTRALITE DDR3L EVK) from my SD card. Working from a 64-bit Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host running on a VMware Workstation v17.6.1 Pro, all seemed to be going quite well until I got to the Configure Base System section. After what appeared to be a successful completion of the second stage of the mutil-stage boot strap, i.e., "/debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage", I didn't really understand this bullet point ... install the makedev package, and create a default set of static device files using (after chrooting)
$ apt install makedev
$ mount none /proc -t proc
$ cd /dev
$ MAKEDEV generic ... execution of this line resulted in this response, "/run/udev or .udev presence implies active udev. Aborting MAKEDEV invocation.
I'm stuck here. After ignoring this apparent problem, I continue through the instructions and tried to boot from my microSD. As they say, "No joy", the board didn't boot. Not sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
