I have written the following lines of code
to get a char device working.
( lines with # indicate that I have tried versions of this code snippet without them)
class_hello = class_create(THIS_MODULE, device_name);
# class_hello->devnode = &hello_devnode;
retval = alloc_chrdev_region( &dev_file, 0, 1, device_name );
cdev_init( &device, &file_ops );
# device.owner = THIS_MODULE;
# kobject_set_name(&device.kobj, device_name);
cdev_add( &device, MKDEV(dev_file, 0), 1 )
device = device_create( class_hello, NULL, MKDEV(dev_file, 0), NULL, device_name );
# kobj_device->devt = MKDEV(dev_file, 0);
Make it open / close / read / write works fine - but look at that
$ ls /sys/class/hello/hello
power subsystem uevent
The "dev" entry is missing - and udev does not react.
Anybody knows what is else needed to make udev react?
