Message: 5658 Hi,
We have a test program for pflag test.
In order to successfully build and run the PFLAGS Test Application, following
kernel and user space adjustments needs to be done.
1) In your uClinux-dist folder enter:
#make menuconfig
[ ] Default all settings (lose changes)
[*] Customize Kernel Settings (NEW)
[*] Customize Vendor/User Settings (NEW)
[ ] Update Default Vendor Settings
Check Customize Kernel Settings and Customize Vendor/User Settings, then save and exit
During kernel configuration under 'Character devices', Blackfin BF533/2/1 Programmable Flags Driver'.
[ ] Blackfin BF533/2/1 SPI port support
[ ] Blackfin BF533/2/1 ADSP SPI ADC support
[*] Blackfin BF533/2/1 Programmable Flags Driver
[ ] Virtual terminal
[ ] Non-standard serial port support
Serial drivers --->
[*] Unix98 PTY support
[*] Legacy (BSD) PTY support
(256) Maximum number of legacy PTY in use
[ ] QIC-02 tape support
IPMI --->
Watchdog Cards --->
[ ] Enhanced Real Time Clock Support
[ ] Generic /dev/rtc emulation
[*] Blackfin Real Time Clock Support
[*] Blackfin Power Management support
[ ] Double Talk PC internal speech card support
[ ] Siemens R3964 line discipline
Ftape, the floppy tape device driver --->
[ ] /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
[ ] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
[ ] RAW driver (/dev/raw/rawN) (OBSOLETE)
Save and exit. We are now leaving kernel configuration and enter user space configuration.
Here we need to enable 'PFLAGS test program' under 'Blackfin test programs'.

2) Recompile kernel and user space^M

3) Starting the Application:^M

From the shell:^M
^M
1.) Starting the Application : pflags_test
root:~> pflags_test

open success /dev/pf2
open success /dev/pf5
Press BTN1 to EXIT

This will toggle STAMP board LED1 until Button1 is pressed.^M

4) Test PROC filesystem interface

The test file path:
uClinux-dist/user/blkfin-test/pflags-test/
The drive file path:
uClinux-dist/linux-2.6.x/drivers/char/pflags.c
uClinux-dist/linux-2.6.x/drivers/char/pflags.h
You can find both driver and test examples.
Thanks

Message: 5660 Thanks, but maybe there are some misunderstanding ...
I know the test program and the proc interface well ... but I'm not
interested how to use this driver from the user space but how to use it
from KERNEL space.
I would like use it from my driver "drivers/input/misc/bf53xPFbuttons"
for removing the direct references to pflags registers.
Regards

It seems like the drive file path is outdated - no longer exists in 2008R1-RC8.
I'm using the pflags driver in userspace, but the ioctl calls are all returning an error, so I wanted to look at the source to see why it is throwing this error: errno = 25
and
#define ENOTTY 25 /* Not a typewriter */
However, without being able to find the driver source, I can't trace it.
Any hint on where I can find that, OR what my problem might be would be helpful.
Thanks!
Ben

this thread is over 2 years old ... when things break the 1 year limit, that's usually a good indicator you should start a new thread. 2 years is almost a dead sure bet.
the pflags driver still exists in 2008R1, but is most likely broken. why werent you able to find the driver source ? it hasnt moved ... it's always been drivers/char/bfin_pflags.c.
i wrote a simple gpio driver to replace the pflags driver in a simple/generic manner:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=linux-kernel:drivers:simple-gpio
it should largely be back-portable to 2008R1 ... copy the driver and paste in the relevant resources
