| |
Hello, I have started to learn device driver writing. I studied the character device driver 'zero device' described by Michael Johnson in his "Writing Linux Device Drivers" and coded it. But after I compile as given by him, I see that the driver is not inserted. I did 'insmod'. Then too the device is not inserted. When I did 'lsmod' I see that the device is inserted. But the device file is not to be found in /dev directory. Also, when I do an 'open' from an application program I fail.
Please help me out.
regards Satheesh
