I want to use a 1-wire slave device from user space. My first approach is to get a symlink like /dev/wire-slave with user read/write permissions. I have tried this with udev rules but didn't get it to work so far. Some additional information about the wire kernel module: Module name: wire (available in stock Ubuntu 13,04) Subsystem: w1 creates the following in /sys/: devices/w1_bus_master1/81-XXXXXXXXXXXX/ where the 81 is a slave device specific identifier. Inside that directory is a file(?) named "rw" which I can (successfully) use to communicate with the onewire device. I have already managed to write a udev rule which sets the permissions on this "rw" so I can use it from user space. But then I have my program to search through /sys/ to access the device which does not seems to be the right way (eg. did not work on my friends Linux Mint). If it is not possible to create a device node in /dev, I'd be thankful for alternative solutions. -- Max -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
