Now that balenalib base images have been deprecated (as of 2025), I’m looking for guidance on the best current approach for handling udev functionality in balena applications. Previously, I was using balenalib images with ENV UDEV=1 to automatically handle dynamically plugged USB/serial devices. No…

Recommended approach for udev support after balenalib deprecation?
