I am working on an embedded linux system, which is accessed through the
serial port(It does not have a display or a keyboard). I have written a
keyboard driver using the input.o module, for a customized keyboard. The
problem is that I am not able to read the keystrokes from the device. When
I try to cat /dev/ttyN, I get the message "No such device". I have virtual
consoles configured into the kernel.
What could be the problem?
Please help!

Regards,
Vijay
