2. Makefile
obj-m += chardev.o
KERNELDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
$(RM) *.o *.mod.c *.ko *.symvers
3. Fixed try
$make
#掛載driver module
$insmod chardev.ko
#建立裝置檔案節點
# mknod 裝置檔名 [bcp] [Major] [Minor]
#選項與參數:
#裝置種類:
# b :設定裝置名稱成為一個周邊儲存設備檔案,例如硬碟等;
# c :設定裝置名稱成為一個周邊輸入設備檔案,例如滑鼠/鍵盤等;
# p :設定裝置名稱成為一個 FIFO 檔案;
# Major :主要裝置代碼;
# Minor :次要裝置代碼;
$mknod /dev/gw-chardev c 250 0
#Testing1 - write message
$echo "Hello World" > /dev/gw-chardev
#Testing2 - read message
$cat /dev/gw-chardev
#卸載 driver module
$rmmod chardev
