I'm trying to make a simple "Hello World" char driver that outputs the alphabet when you cat it. Everything is working great, but I can't figure out how to get it to show up in /dev/ automatically. I've seen the stuff for devfs, and I know udev is completely userspace, so I know I don't do anything directly to it. From what I've seen I think I need to put something in /sys, so I've been researching kobjects, and how they interact w/ sys, and I've tried registering a class_simple, and that makes some things come up under /sys/classes, but nothing in /dev. I've also tried tweaking udev's config with something like KERNEL="mymod",NAME="mymod" but I don't think that should be necessary from what I've seen. I've been looking at some char devices that show up automatically in /dev, but I don't see anything they're doing that I'm not. I must be missing something obvious. Thanks! don't be afraid me to point me to the appropriate fm if I missed something ~Jake B -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
