Hi everybody,
I'm trying to compile the examples of LDD3 with kernel 2.6.22.
I get them from:
http://www.oreilly.com.cn/codeexample/ldd3/
I have some problems/questions regarding tiny_tty.c and tiny_serial.c
(tty directory concerning chapter 18)
1) Are they tty or uart drivers? What is the main difference between the
two?
2) I managed to compile tiny_serial.c, with some modifications to the
source (which I've reported at the end of my e-mail), but when I "cat
/dev/ttytiny" nothing happens (I would expect to get the 't' char every
2 sec). With some printk I can see that the tiny_timer is running fine
but it seems that the characters aren't pushed to user space.
3) I can't even compile tiny_tty.c. It seems the problem is in the
change of the flip buffer implementation but I can find a good example
of using this new code.
Thank you very much
regards
Luca
