Is there a helping hand to give me some advice where / how to start? I want: - a "pseudo device", which collects every now and then data from an external box via serial line (/dev/cuaa1) Box-Status and some more information shoud be readable, whichever Commands have to be sent to the Box could be done via ioctl - using FreeBSD 4.10 ( going to 5.x later) - I am currently reading: FreeBSD Handbook and Developers Handbook Daemonnews: Oct 2000: KLD example / Tutorial /usr/src/share/examples/driver/make... ( and McKusik's Design ...) - And finally: this is going to be my first Unix-Driver ... (although, I have some experience in low-level programming)
I need Infos on: - is there a "better" (or "more preferred") way than written above? - is there a "simple example driver" doing similar things - actually, can I simply access /dev/cuaa1 from "inside" a driver ? (suppose, I should not ...) - or should I simply / better stay with a daemon ? thanks in advance for hints! -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Richard Kästner EDV-Beratung Woerthgasse 17 2500 Baden Austria _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
