sorry for the stupid ... I append the exact file with the folllowing line
  /usr/local              d       755     0       0       -       -
   -       -       -
to ensure the target/generic/device_table.txt really works.  But after
full build, I don't find /usr/local under the root. So,,,  what
'device_table.txt' should I go to use?

Where is the definition for the target device table file name?  Thanks.
