Depending on your Buildroot configuration, udev may or may not be used.
In the default Buildroot configuration, udev is not used.

In menuconfig, look at the "System configuration" menu, it contains a
choice named "/dev management", which tells Buildroot how /dev should
be handled.

The default configuration is to use a static /dev, and from a quick
look to our device table, /dev/tty0 is created in this configuration.
So I'm a bit surprised. Could you post your Buildroot .config file?

Why do you need run levels? For most embedded systems, they are pretty
useless.
