 |
|
Hi here's my setup:
I have a Netmos parport card. It is meant to work with the kernel's driver. Here's what I do
| Code: |
lspci -vv
05:02.0 Communication controller: NetMos Technology PCI 1 port parallel adapter (rev 01)
Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic Device 0010
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 23
[b] Region 0: I/O ports at ec00 [size=8][/b]
Region 1: I/O ports at e880 [size=8]
Region 2: I/O ports at e800 [size=8]
Region 3: I/O ports at e480 [size=8]
Region 4: I/O ports at e400 [size=8]
Region 5: I/O ports at e080 [size=16]
Kernel modules: parport_pc
|
so I load the module manually
| Code: |
rmmod parport_pc
modprobe parport_pc io=0xec00 irq=4,10
|
and it gives me a:
| Code: |
parport0: PC-style at 0xec00, irq 4 [PCSPP(,...)]
|
without further moaning...
still /dev/parport0 is not existing, so I enter
| Code: |
mknod /dev/parport0 c 99 0 -m 666
|
and the port is there.
| Code: |
ls /dev/parport0
returns:
/dev/parport0
|
also
| Code: |
ls /proc/sys/dev/parport/
gives me
default parport0
|
Now I try some cool application like avrdude... and it gives me
| Code: |
avrdude -p ATMEGA8 -c STK200 -n -v
.
.
.
.
avrdude: can't open device "/dev/parport0": No such device or address
avrdude: failed to open parallel port "/dev/parport0"
|
has anyone any idea??? |

bastibasti,
The /dev file should be /dev/lp0 or /dev/lp/0 and udev should add it for you.

Yeah /dev/lp0 does not exist.
And you are right. UDEV automatically loads the module during boot: (not creating the device)
dmesg:
| Code: |
parport_pc 0000:05:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 23
PCI parallel port detected: 14d2:8001, I/O at 0xec00(0xe880)
parport0: PC-style at 0xec00 (0xe880) [PCSPP(,...)]
