How to add your own device drivers in embedded LINUX

Article Title: how to add your own device driver in embedded LINUX. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
The driver can be compiled in two ways. one is to statically compile the program into the kernel, and the other is to compile the program into a module for dynamic loading. Because uClinux does not support dynamic module loading, and embedded LINUX cannot use insmod/rmmod as flexibly as desktop LINUX does, so here we will only introduce how to statically compile the device driver into the uClinux kernel.
The following uses UCLINUX as an example to describe how to compile the driver test. c in the module mode into the kernel:
　　
(1) modify the test. c source code
Step 1:
# Include
# Include
Char kernel_version [] = UTS_RELEASE;
Changed:
# Ifdef MODULE
# Include
# Include
Char kernel_version [] = UTS_RELEASE;
# Else
# Define MOD_INC_USE_COUNT
# Define MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT
# Endif
Step 2: Create the int init_test (void) function)
Register the device here:
Result = register_chrdev (254, "test", & test_fops );
　　
　　
(2) set test. copy c to the/uclinux/linux/drivers/char directory, and mem in the/uclinux/linux/drivers/char directory. in c, add the following code to the int chr_dev_init () function:
# Ifdef CONFIG_TESTDRIVE
Init_test ();
# Endif
　　
(3) add the following code to Makefile in the/uclinux/linux/drivers/char Directory:
Ifeq ($ (CONFIG_TESTDRIVE), y)
L_OBJS + = test. o
Endif
　　
(4) add the following code to the character device segment in config. in the/uclinux/linux/arch/m68knommu Directory:
Bool 'support for testdrive 'CONFIG_TESTDRIVE y
　　
(5) run make menuconfig (in the menuconfig character device options, you can see the 'support for testdrive 'option we just added and has been selected); make dep; make linux; make linux. text; make linux. data; cat linux. text linux. data> linux. bin.
(6) create a device in the/uclinux/romdisk/dev/directory:
Mknod test c 254 0
Run make in/uclinux/javasrc/to generate a new Romdisk. s19 file.
　　
Here, adding a device driver in UCLINUX can be said to be completed, as long as the new linux. bin and Romdisk. s19 is burned into the target board, and you can use your new device test.
