View 2 RepliesI did searched you tube but my results were not great.I have 2 books on KernelProgramming.I feel I need if some where I can get a video tutorial which can help me to understand how to develop a Linux Device driver that will be great.I had a look at Greg Kroah Hartmans video lecture of developing patches on ......I have been reading books and a lot of stuff.So I wish if I could get a video lecture that would be better

I have one of these devices:

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?
Is there an easy example of a block device driver I could follow as a guide to write my own module?

Code: /* chardev.c: Creates a read-only char device that says how many times
* you've read from the dev file
*/
#if defined(CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) && ! defined(MODVERSIONS)
#include <linux/modversions.h>
#define MODVERSIONS

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>

I have seen a few sites that have referenced this but they were not written for new users and I could not figure out how to install it. I am fairly adept at usage of computers (mostly Windows OS) but am not yet familiar with Ubuntu so I am aware of the absolute basics... I am just not sure what commands to use in the terminal and etc.. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

how to write a device driver for USB
I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my samsung n150. It has the 8192 device in it. Have installed ndiswrapper, however cannot get the drivers for it. How to fix/where to get the driver from so I can get my wireless card working again.
On lspci:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation N10 Family DMI Bridge
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) .....
I think the driver may be there, however I just can't 'enable' it. On my laptop there is a blue light saying that wifi is enabled however who knows.
I just got finished installing Ubuntu on 2 computers. I muddled my way thro the panels not installing. Now I would like to hook up a dual mode camera. Vivatar V15 . I know very little about Linux, but as having fought with Microsoft Windows for years I find it refreshing to see Ubuntu. I need to know about device drivers. Ubuntu does not auto detect the camera. The Model of the Camera isV15 Freelance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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);
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 have an application that reads data from a medical device connected using usb.
I am writing the driver for this device since it is a vendor specific device.
I am using libusb v0.1 API and get notification to the application when the device is connected/disconnected.

I am facing a serious problem.. i want a linux-device driver to work on windows is it possible.. see windows has device driver files as .sys and linux has .ko so is it possible..??

I downloaded the full install of Fedora 10. I burned the DVD and it booted okay. Going through the startup stuff, select language, keyboard, ect and then I choose the dvd as the source of the image. Then I get "no driver found" and gives me the option to choose from a list of drivers or to use a driver disk. I saw something in the forums about someone having the same problem but theirs was a video card issue. On the list of drivers it looks like they are network card drivers. I have no idea what to do. I am using a NVIDIA Geforce FX 5500 if that helps. I also did not verify the iso, though wouldn't it not boot at all if the iso image was broken?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow do you find out which driver is being used for a certain device. Say that I run lsusb and I find "Bus 007 Device 002: ID 046d:c043 Logitech, Inc. MX320/MX400 Laser Mouse", how can I find out what the active driver for the device is?Also, is there some way to list all available drivers for a device? Is there a way to change the driver at runtime?
