What's the user space that talks to this?
Multiple.
Each channel has a different purpose. There it is expected that a
different userspace application would be using it.
Hemant implemented the loopback channel, which is a simple channel that
just sends you back anything you send it. Typically this is consumed by
a test application.
Diag is a typical channel to be consumed by userspace. This is consumed
by various applications that talk to the remote device for diagnostic
information (logs and such).
Sahara is another common channel that is usually used for the multistage
firmware loading process.
Thanks for the info, are there any open source tests based on the
loopback channel (perhaps even in tree?)
Since that's the only channel enabled in this set its the only one
we can comment on.
i am not aware of any open source tests based on loopback channel. My
testing includes multiple sessions of echo, cat etc using adb to confirm
what is sent is received back. Loic is using UCI driver for his use case
too.
Loic, in case you have any use case (which is part of open source) which
can use UCI driver, pls share that info ?
I think as soon as UCI becomes part of the tree, more and more channels
would get added to the driver having open source code for that from
other folks in community (Loic would be one of them i guess).
Thanks,
Hemant
