Hi,
I am trying to develop a simple driver for the rpmsg bus, in order to send
various commands from user space in Linux to a secondary CPU (A Cortex M4). I'm
trying to keep things as simple as possible, so my idea was to create a driver
that just has a few attributes which can be set in /sys which would trigger
commands to be sent to the M4 CPU. I have the communication between the CPU:s
up and running, but where I'm having trouble moving forward is how to access
the "struct rpmsg_device *" that I need in order to communicate with the
endpoint for the M4 CPU from the store/show function of the sysfs attributes.
What my driver does is to register a rpmsg_driver in the init function:
register_rpmsg_driver(&pwm_rpmsg_driver);
the device_driver member of my rpmsg_driver struct has its groups member set to
my driver attribute groups array:
static struct rpmsg_driver pwm_rpmsg_driver = {
.probe = pwm_rpmsg_probe,
.remove = pwm_rpmsg_remove,
.callback = pwm_rpmsg_cb,
.id_table = pwm_rpmsg_device_id_table,
.drv = {
.groups = driver_pwm_groups,
.name = "pwm_rpmsg",
},
};
My issue is that that I am not sure how to access the struct "rpmsg_device *"
(i.e. from the probe() function) in the show/store functions for the sysfs
attributes, which have a "struct device_driver *" argument:
static int pwm_rpmsg_probe(struct rpmsg_device *rpdev) /* rpmsg_device->ept is
needed to send messages to the other CPU */
static ssize_t duty_cycle_store(struct device_driver *dev, const char *buf,
size_t count); /* Can I use the
device_driver struct to somehow access the rpmsg_device? */
I am very much a novice when it comes to driver development, so I might be
approaching this from a completely wrong direction. Any advice would be very
much appreciated!
Thanks,
Pelle
