Re: Communication device interrupts to user space via real time signals

Hello Greg, Thanks for your reply, currently our development is using
some older 2.6 version,
where I think the support for UIO is not present. Therefore, I am
looking this as an alternative solution.
Kindly, tell me about the possibilities of achieving success using
this approach or possible short comings of this approach.
