I'm ongoing with the linux device drivers. I've followed the the book LDD but i'm lost about how to call my driver's specific method from the user space. Eg: if have developed a character device and inserted the module then how can i make sure that when I read or write that it implement the functions via the methods i have implemented in my module. -- Niroj Pokhrel NIT Jamshedpur, B.Tech,Electronics and Communication -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So with cat/echo from userspace you should be able to verify your implementation.

I have tried using printk . What I really want to do now is to implement the methods I have written by calling from the user space. Like I want to read or write to the character devices via user space.

If yes, then you can write and read(given you have methods for write and read for your char driver), through 'echo', 'cat' etc of your char device through fs nodes(under /dev). I'm guessing that you've exported your device under /dev file system. -Amit > On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 3:49 PM, Matthias Brugger < > matthias.bgg at googlemail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > On 10/15/2012 11:24 AM, Niroj Pokhrel wrote: > > > >> Hi, > >> I'm new to linux and kernel .

If your char dev driver has been correctly implemented and registered then the standard file operation syscalls can be used to access the device. The Linux kernel virtual filesystem will use the information on the character device node (major number) to know which struct file_operations (and hence file operations callbacks) has to be used.
