Just to be sure that I got the point...
Letīs say, a company plans to build a stand alone device that internally
uses Linux as operating system. In order to keep size small and so on
DOCs are used to load the operating system. As far as I understood now
the DOC driver has to be included in the kernel image which is on the
DOC. In order to mount the root device and so on which actually is the
DOC, the driver is needed.
So, what about the concequences for this company when distributing
(selling) this device in the described setup? I doubt that, if it is
correct what you wrote, it wonīt be ok. Right or wrong?
Bye, Mike
