serial device name for smart card reader that is integrated to Anysee DVB USB device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have been looking for correct device name for serial smart card reader that is integrated to Anysee DVB USB devices. Consider it like old so called Phoenix reader. Phoenix is de facto protocol used for such readers and there is whole bunch of different RS232 (/dev/ttyS#) or USB-serial (/dev/ttyUSB#) readers using that protocol.

Anyhow, that one is integrated to DVB USB device that is driven by dvb_usb_anysee driver. As I understand, I need reserve new device name and major number for my device. See Documentation/devices.txt

Current proof-of-concept driver can be found from:
http://git.linuxtv.org/anttip/media_tree.git/shortlog/refs/heads/anysee-sc
Don't review code since it is not ready for release yet, it even lacks locking.

There have been some proposes about names, mainly whether to register it under the DVB adapter it is physically (/dev/dvb/adapterN/sc#) or to the root of /dev (/dev/sc#). I used sc as name, SC=SmartCard.

Could someone who have enough knowledge point out which one is correct or better?


regards
Antti
