RE: Registering device

["Prokopenko, Konstantyn" <kproko@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Karthik,

You can use register_chrdev() to register your device. To be able to talk to
your PCI hardware you need to use
provided PCI specific functions such as pci_find_device(),
pci_read_config_XX, pci_write_config_XX, etc...
pci_find_dev() returns pci_dev structure characterizing your PCI device.
pci_read_config_XX and PCI_write_config_XX functions can be used to obtain
BAR addresses and sizes to map memory or IO of your device and to get IRQ if
needed.

Regards,
Konstantyn

Hi,
 To register a char device i have to use the register_chrdev()
or i have to use the appropriate interface register functions
like pci_dev_register().

Karthik
