Hardware :: Accessing Device Driver From C Application
Jun 14, 2011
I wrote device driver to USB device, I can see it is alive and sending the data that I set it to send from the shell
Code:
cat /dev/myDev
How can I read from the device using C code?
I've tried to open it as a file and read it's content to buffer but noting returns..
Code:
char bufferin[500];
FILE* myDev = fopen("/dev/myDev", "r+");
size = fread(bufferin, 500, 500, myDev);

So I am using a debian 5.0.4 version of Linux with a command-line interface (the bash shell).I have been trying to get my usb device to be readable, which I suppose means I need to run a mount command like mount -t usbfs /dev/usb /media/usb But I have not had any luck getting to access my usb drive...I run lsusb and find that it is attached, I can find it in the /proc directory, but I cannot access my usb drive

I am using a Belkin F5D 8235-4 ver 2 wireless router. My linux box is connected direct. I have a 16G flash drive installed in the usb port on the router that I want to use for storage so I can dump files I share with my other machines on the network. Windows sees this usb and works fine by just using the web browser and using 192.168.2.1usb no problem. Then I try to use my unbuntu and can not for the life of me figure out how to set up a permanent link to that drive in linux. I would like to have a direct connection on my desktop. Of course I tried Belkin and was told we do not support Linux.

I wonder if there is a command that can tell me which process is accessing a folder, say, /mnt? Sometimes I forgot which process is accessing /mnt and therefore cannot umount /mnt.

I have an Linksys NSLU2 with four usb harddrives attached to it. One is for the os, the other three are setup as a RAID5 array. Yes, I know the raid will be slow, but the server is only for storage and will realistically get accessed once or twice a week at the most. I want the drives to spin down but mdadm is doing something in the background to access them. An lsof on the raid device returns nothing at all. The drive are blinking non-stop and never spin down until I stop the raid. Then they all spin down nicely after the appropriate time.
They are Western Digital My Book Essentials and will spin down by themselves if there is no access. What can I shutdown in mdadm to get it to stop continually accessing the drives? Is it the sync mechanism in the software raid that is doing this? I tried setting the monitor to --scan -1 to get to check the device just once, but to no avail. I even went back and formatted the raid with ext2 thinking maybe the journaling had something to do with it. There are no files on the raid device, it's empty.

I have installed live cd on usb pendrive. Everything works great. How can I find out which device driver it is using? Where are the device driver files stored? How do you specify the device driver when mounting a device?

as we know in windows xp drive and folder permissions, we perform (folder-right click-properties-security tab-we check, group or user and assign ALLOW or DENY access to the folders) In the same way i want to DENY access to my windows driver sda1 & sda2 from the Debian OS. my system is being used by 3 users: user1, user2 & user3. All can access to all Volumes, so I want to Deny the users 2 & 3 from accessing my windows driver and folders. BUT i alone user 1 should have permission to access them. How do i change that in Debian 5.5? Allow/Deny Permissions to Volumes.

I got a trouble about communicating between host application and HID device (with a button) in a embedded Debian Linux OS. The both of them are working fine on ubuntu. When I insert my HID device on my embedded debian linux Unit, following message show up:
# usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using ehci_marvell and address 3
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
HID device not claimed by input or hiddev
and in /dev folder some usbdev files are generated:
usbdev1.3
usbdev1.3_ep00
usbdev1.3_ep02
usbdev1.3_ep81
usbdev1.3_ep83
When I run my host app, and press the button, no any data transferring happened (check with CATc captured data). I know the host app run fine on uBuntu, because I know how to open /dev/usb/hiddev0 in my code. I don't know how to open this kind of file in debian linux. I tried use each files above, the button still doesn't work. Can anyone help me to point out if it is HID driver issue or coding issue.

I'm having trouble mounting hard drives and partitions - and am rather nervous about using Yast partitioner to do this. Is there something that would tell me about mount points in Yast partitioner? So far I haven't been able to find that information anywhere. I don't want to lose information on existing drives and partitions but do want to be able to access them.Some of them appear under disk information in "My Computer" but if I try to mount them I get this error message.There is no application installed that can open files of the type block device (inode/blockdevice).I was trying to edit fstab,his didn't seem straightforward either. I've been hacking this about in other Linux distros - so not entirely clueless

I know, I know..."How long is a piece of string"?
I have one of these devices:
[URL]
Of course, it's Windows only, and XP only at that. However, the data that needs transferred between the device and the computer should be fairly basic, unless it offloads a lot of processing to the computer. I'm not a programmer, nor do I play one on TV, but I have written some fairly complicated microcontroller programs and some basic Java GUIs. Besides writing the actual code, how hard is it to do whatever needs done to make a Linux device driver, apart from the code to make the device work?

I am totally new to Linux and have a PC here with 128 MB Ram and a 10 GB HDD. It has Windows Millenium installed but I presume this will be wiped during the install process if I so wish.,
I am part way through the install using CD's and have just chosen my required alnguage and then keyboard layout. The next option is asking me to choose what device drivers to load and most appear to be HDD Drivers. I haven't a clue what to choose here?

It's easy to bind a device to a usb driver by doing something like
Code:
modprobe driver vendor=vid product=pid. I'm wondering if this can be done with a compiled-in module: is there a way to dynamically tell Linux to use a specific module for a device?

I wrote a small hello world type of character device driver. When I type echo -n "abcdef" > /dev/bond and do a cat /dev/bond then only last "f" of above input abcdef is displayed rest nothing is displayed. I asked this question earlier and some people suggested me some modifications I have done and experimented all that but I am unable to catch the error.
Here is the code
Code:
/* Necessary includes for device drivers */
#include <linux/init.h>
//#include <linux/config.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
[Code].....
