Hello,
I'm trying to consolidate the interface for several camera components into one place to represent a single camera.
Each of the camera modules includes a LED driver (0x63) and camera (0x3c) that sit behind a couple muxes. For example:
/sys/devices/platform/amba/ff030000.i2c/i2c-1/i2c-3/i2c-5/5-003c/
/sys/devices/platform/amba/ff030000.i2c/i2c-1/i2c-3/i2c-7/7-0063/
The LEDs are also available under /sys/class/leds/ based on their labels as defined in the devicetree.
The image data captured by the camera passes through two soft IP blocks. The driver for the second block maps the image into memory and exposes it as a block device in /dev.
In #kernel-newbies on OFC it was suggested that I could use udev to symlink the above into one place in /dev, but I'm having trouble creating a symlink between /sys and /dev (e.g. /sys/.../5-003c -> /dev/camera-name/camera). Perhaps that isn't possible or intended? I've only seen symlinks between /dev and /dev in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/*.rules on my development system.
If it is I can explain what I've tried in more detail, but basically I'd like to do something like the following:
DRIVER=="aptina-ar0330", SYMLINK+="camera/$attr{../../of_node/name}/$env{OF_NAME}"
If it is not possible any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Philip
