Creating devices with mdev (automically)

[Manuel Sahm]

Hello,

I read this document too, but I don´t know exactly what to do.
Could you please give me some hints ?

Do I have to modify the mdev.conf ?

Is there a special function needed in my kernel-driver init function to
let mdev work ?

Thank you
Best regards
Manuel

Hello,

I have written an gpio kernel driver.
Now I have to create a /dev/gpio/xy Character device with mknod for
each pin.

Is it possible to do this with mdev automatically when I load my driver
with insmod ? 




Thank you very much
best regards

Manuel

Hi,

I just faced the same question myself (how to get mdev to automatically
create device files when loading modules) and found
busybox/docs/mdev.txt to be quite helpful.
