Problem:
I had written asking for help with implementing the "none" device
driver example that came with our system. I had problems building the
loadable module none.mod. I also had problems tyring to load the
none.mod module that was already present in the example directory.
Solution:
I didn't get any help from anyone on the list. I found the
solution to my problem in the Release Notes! The answers were in the
device driver bookshelf in the Release Notes book under Development
Environment Notes. A couple of mistakes were in the example files
themselves and were unrelated to my problem. The main problem was
in the Tutorial manual. The manual skipped a crucial step in the
configuration of the loadable module. The manual says that after
"config" rebuilds the makefile you just say "make none" and you will
"notice" the none.mod file is created. Well, you actually have to make
a minor edit to the makefile, say "make none.o" to create none.o and
then say "ld -r -d -o none.mod none.o" to create none.mod.
I'm still having a small problem configuring my loadable module so
I may be writing to you all about that soon.
Thanks,
Mike
