i have just started working on USB myDev Device Drivers. I have some
Problem with DevFS.would u pls help me... this driver compiles
successfully and runs successfully but i m unable to create dir using
devfs_mk_dir and register with defs_register. I have also read rubini's
book and ur documentation on "writing usb device drivers" but unable to
find error. I m using RH9.0 and kernel version 2.4.
This Code is like this :
1. Header Files :
#define MODULE
#define __KERNEL__
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/errno.h>
#include <linux/devfs_fs_kernel.h>
#include <linux/usb.h>
#include <linux/slab.h>
#include <linux/sched.h>
#include <linux/signal.h>
#include <linux/poll.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/config.h>
#include <linux/fcntl.h>
#include <linux/spinlock.h>
#include <linux/smp_lock.h>
2. static struct file_operations myDev_fops = {
owner: THIS_MODULE,
read: myDev_read,
write: myDev_write,
ioctl: myDev_ioctl,
open: myDev_open,
release: myDev_release,
};
3. static struct usb_driver myDev_driver = {
name: "Sigmatel_myDev_driver",
probe: myDev_probe,
disconnect: myDev_disconnect,
fops: &myDev_fops,
minor: USB_myDev_MINOR_NO,/*200*/
id_table: myDev_table,
};
4. extern devfs_handle_t usb_devfs_handle;
devfs_handle_t myDev_devfs_dir;
5. static void* myDev_probe(struct usb_device *udev, unsigned int ifnum,
const struct usb_device_id *id)
{
struct usb_myDev *dev = NULL;

}
else
{

}

goto exit;
error:
myDev_delete(dev);

exit:
return dev;
}
