I have written a device driver for a serial port board that we have, and
it works fine in that it can read and write serial data. However, I now
want to implement it as a tty device on our system, so that I can use
all the usual tty functions on it. How do I go about this? Also, do I
need to write any other device driver functions (besides open, close,
read, write, poll, mmap, intr) to achieve this. Are there any books/docs
around describing this process?
thanks
Bruce
